Upon Dark Waters

The ultimate goal on canvas is to replicate my digital work.  I cannot wait to do something like this with a brush.  I started painting on canvas partly because I could not afford prints of my own art.  I’m glad I picked up the brush.  Now it is hard to go back to the stylist. …

It is 2017, and we’re opening the Starting Eye for a second journey into pareidolia, flow state, and the strange worlds hiding inside ordinary images. This time, things get a little weirder.
