That looks a lot better. O:

fantastical! I love it!

i'd give you everything i've got for a little peace of mind...

Oh wow.

I know I faved the other version of this already, but I decided to add this one too. It's only fair since you consider this one the better of the two. I hope you're all healed up from your trip!

For some reason this painting is more elusive than many others in terms of getting a really satisfying shot of it. Partly i think this is due to my (still) limitations on space as i'm in the process of resettling back into housing and such, and so am i partial vagabond. Glad you see the difference.

very sweet to know, glad you feel it

Thanks for the refav!!! Yes this one is better overall in representation, in terms of color and interval shifts in the composition--and much much better from my illnesses in Thailand! Although, hilariously i injured my left hand(not painting hand thankfully) with a fairly bad sprain/strain, few weeks ago...may've cracked some bones but fully functional in terms of flexibility, movement, etc, so healing. Always something! Regardless i'm hoping in the next two weeks to be up and running again in a new studio/living space--for now i've been focussed more on redesigning the basic template of my website, hope to update with new stuff asap.

It the bottom right hand that does it most for me. The smell of flowers is the sweatest smell of sex there is. Here Buddha faces his temptation of Mara who reveals to Buddha even his own femine/male hermaphroditic halves, having to deny even the call of the most basic life cycle of even plants, he forces his way past it to join the pure energy of light.
