Thanks Frank,
I have only recently reemerged to my birth right, spent a lot of wasted time making a living, and only this last year have I invested to get back to my passion of art, as well the maturity to accept what it may reveal.
The piece falls into the realm of the multiple feats in a relationship, an expression from both ends, a bit of every emotion, and 100 percent intent, from the shell of a face, direction of grain in finish, colors, to the base origin, and leaving the piece "Untitled" to encourage ambiguity, so that I can learn more about myself through interpretation, glad you enjoyed it.
More to come, and its nice to be back, cheers!
