“It’s been interesting to see how much reflections have come into play in these images. The balcony is such a focal point of the house, and here I was able to combine a bit of the view while focusing on this architectural detail. From the top of a 14-foot stepladder, I was able to see the lake and mountains reflected in these windows. I love the contrast of the cool blues and greens with the warm hues of the tile, stone and wood. The eaves and roof formed sort of a brow, suggesting the windows as eyes. Thus the title. Parts of the turret and chimney add an important counterpoint in the composition to the lines of the balcony, which otherwise would keep your eye sliding off the right hand side of the painting. The oil washes gave me flexibility to have fun with the wonderful colors in the roof and stone. Adding the chairs at the end gave it the needed “human presence”.
