"SIGHT SEEING"

10x10, oil on panel, $140.00
Chicago is just a wonderland for art.  "Eye" by Tony Tasset at Pritzker Park in the loop  is a sight to behold.  Emerging from the subway at Jackson and State we found ourselves in view of this monumental work.  What a fun exhibit to see in the middle of the city, surrounded by buildings, overhead trains, restaurants and so much more.

ewwwww! Good job!
I just watched a program on Ovation channel last night on the wonderful Chicago institute museum. You're so lucky!!

Oh, wow.............great work but, I think I'd almost be scared to meet the person who buys this. I'd wonder what other body parts they have hanging around. It's a really fun piece, a conversation starter for sure.

This is hysterical Dori...and you really captured Bob and Elliot!

Wonderful work, Dory!

OK...this is weird..not your painting Dori, of course...but the eyeball...just plain weird. But I have to say- very well done, and highly entertaining...and I can "see" why you did this.

LOVE your sense of humor - and so well painted, too. Now I have GOT to get to Chicago!

Gwen Bell said...

Eye-catching to say the least...a conversation piece for the collector for sure.

This is a really fun painting, and the title is great! I love all those juicy strokes you used on the iris of the eyeball.
