Welcome

This is The Committee (24" x 48"). They represent those little voices in our heads that challenge and criticize and push us to do better. They can be awfully pushy, in fact, and judgmental to boot. But useful.

I've spent part of the winter working on my drawing skills in a class that took me to the Toledo Museum of Art to draw the incredible sculptures there. It was a challenging and wonderful exercise ... and produced this (nearly finished) drawing of Bishamonten, a 2nd Century Japanese god. I'll post it again once it's complete.




Bishamonten
Wood, 1250-1300
One of 4 guardians at the main altar of a Buddhist temple, Bishamonten was the god of victory in war as well as the god of wealth and good fortune. The mask at his belt denotes the subjugation of evil. Quite a guy.
