Oh, Gayle, I just know there's a story that goes with this one! Texture and color are wonderful. The eyes are mesmerizing. You have piqued my curiosity. Is it fabric? Encaustic?

Apologies if I am "double-dipping" but I am having all sorts of problems posting comments on the blog. It has something to do with the way my IE browser isn't working properly. I couldn't check because you are probably sound asleep and your comments are awaiting your approval.
I am pretty sure that the page froze as I was typing my comment to you so I will say it again. This is wonderful, Gayle. I love the way you have illustrated eternity with the hand-less clocks and the ancient image. The textures are wonderful.

Very impressive artwork, Gayle! It challenges us to look for interpretations, and that's always a good thing in art.

I love it Gayle. I started out with that same swirl stone image. Not yet happy with what I've produced, though.
