    rather haunting and deep – the stare is intense….... seems like the eyes of the ancient ones looking down upon us, and yet, within the paint I see so many forms and figures that could be just those passing by without a second glance….

  • butchart replied

    thanks wendy…. the figures kind of emerged on thierown as i was highlighting the central figures face…. i appreciate your comment on the eyes as they gave me the most trouble…........ peace and light…....b

    Two figures but the third in the background seems the stronger. A good influence on the two in the foreground, if they will let him in. Beautiful work Butch:-)

    My dearest Butch – you must have posted this just as I left town and this is the first I’ve even had a chance to check in. This is the most amazing thing you’ve ever done I think – so incredibly compelling. Powerful depths here – I can sense the spirit of this witness drawing me in with those eyes. Visually beautiful, wonderful tones and textures – such a strong image. Love this my dearest!
