My Eyes Are Up Here
 
Original Acrylic on Canvas 
by Jordan Perkins
 
Humorous, bold, and impossible to ignore, My Eyes Are Up Here is Jordan Perkins at his playful best. With a cheeky sense of humor and a masterful command of colour and texture, Perkins transforms an ordinary dairy cow into an unforgettable contemporary portrait that is guaranteed to spark smiles and conversation.
 
Viewed from an unexpected perspective, the painting invites the viewer to pause, laugh, and appreciate the beauty found in everyday farm life. Thick, expressive palette knife strokes build layers of texture throughout the cow's hide, while brilliant turquoise, burnt orange, warm gold, and crisp whites create a vibrant backdrop filled with energy and movement. The result is a work that is both technically accomplished and delightfully irreverent.
 
Beneath its playful title lies a celebration of rural life and the animals that have long been part of our communities. Jordan captures the quiet dignity of the subject while reminding us not to take ourselves too seriously. The balance of humour, craftsmanship, and contemporary style makes this painting equally at home in a modern residence, country estate, restaurant, winery, or corporate collection.
 
At an impressive 48" x 60", My Eyes Are Up Here commands attention wherever it is displayed. It is a statement piece that draws viewers in, rewards a closer look, and almost always leaves them smiling.
 
Jordan Perkins has developed a distinctive artistic voice by combining expressive realism with fearless colour, energetic texture, and a touch of wit. His paintings celebrate wildlife, agriculture, and the natural world while encouraging viewers to see familiar subjects from an entirely new perspective.
