Description
Monolithic updatePencil on Illustration Board
Full drawing 30” x 40” this image 7” x 7”
This is the Second element in this drawing, the sky and bulb being the first.
This is a drawing of my step-fathers eye. An eye that’s seventy-eight years old, an eye akin to hammered gold. An eye that’s experienced prisoner of war camps and the death of many comrades. It’s been witness to beating cancer once and now in the dusk of his years to lung cancer. This symbol speaks of strength and vulnerability; it alludes to the end of one journey and the beginning of another.
(On December 5, 2005 my dear step-dad died in my arms, I will miss him so very much, Gods Speed to you Dad, and all my love always). Armin Mersmann
Thanks for looking

im always a little uncomfortable with terms, the idea of drawing/painting something to look like a photo never appealed to me but drawing like i see it and all the nuisances that others miss that is what i try to accomplish. and your right some call that super-realism.
thank you

When I see art like this, it makes me think how talented some people are and that they aren't the ones the majority of people look up to but the "not as talented" people are. I wish that more people like you were recognized in the world. This a a beautiful piece of art to an amazing history.

This is an amazing drawing.
The iris has excellent detail.
The eyelashes, the eyebrows.
Not a single imperfection.
I'm sorry to hear that your step-father passed away.
May he Rest in Peace
