Face
This is a portrait of an undefined (from my imagination) person that I drew mid The Artist of Possibility Training. It is one of the most mysterious pieces that I've created, in that it has a mythical, layered feeling about it. I love the red, and how the ink masks the person, yet they are still revealed. They are behind the veil, but still in full relationship.

People
This piece is terrifically funny, according to me. It has a whimsy, as nude people are standing around looking at an object which is unseen by the viewer. What is it, I wonder. This piece was done in a bit of a trance state, after (or perhaps during?) the most recent 6 day retreat for The Artist of Possibility Training. It is VERY different from my typical work, in that it is a landscape with several characters, all with their backs turned, and my typical work is frontal portraits. These characters are mysterious to me, and I enjoy looking at it, wondering what they're looking at and what it all means. I enjoy the stretching that this work created in me.

Old Woman
This is a rendering of Mme Blavatsky, a personal heroine of mine, in that she relentlessly pursued an independent life of spiritualism during an era when that was not easily achieved. She was ballsy, forthright, and relentless.
