Of course, an eye doctor would include an optical illusion in the artwork she created for the Logan County Art League’s “Not So Bad Art by Good People.”
To the untrained eye, Dr. Annette Terebuh’s painting The Eye of the Beholder appears to be a floral design. An ophthalmologist, however, sees not three flowers, but three eyeballs with various optical conditions.
“When you create art, you want it to be an expression of yourself,” she said. “My artistic expression came through ballet. I thought about trying to paint ballerinas, but I can only draw stick people.
“But when it comes to eyes, I’m not so bad at drawing them. I spend all day looking at eyes, especially the back of eyes. But I also love gardening.”
Thus was born her idea to paint eyeballs that look like flowers.
