Wendy Slee
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
