Description
I see King Tut in his resting place.
The world continues around him even as he is no longer interacting with it.
The spirits of the living and the dead are frolicking. Magic and mayhem are not uncommon as you peer into the unknown.
This painting started as a photograph of a piece of glass artwork created by Garth Mudge of Glassworks in Winthrop, Wa. It was taken with a Macro lens and is a very small section of the overall object. The colors are vivid and alive due to the way that I am illuminating the glass art as I am taking the picture. In a way I am photographing the light as it passes through the object.
In this particular photograph I have gone in by hand and painted over the original image. Adding my own textures and visions to the shapes and colors I started with.
I have been a professional photographer for many years but it is only recently that I have been photographing glass at any level. It is such an exciting experience to discover these images. I almost feel like an archeologist as I explore a small hidden word and reveal the treasures within.

King, TUT, TUT, tut ... :-) Never cared much for any of the Abstracts that were seen in the media. But, have found a few on FAA that have appealed to me, and this is definitely one of them.
