Pandora's Box The river slides snakelike through my dreams
Ever present
Deep, black, unfathomable
Flowing but almost still
Stilling the agitation of my wakefulness
Nurturing my soul.

Mythical faces eddy and whirl
swirl and vanish
into the black depths of their origin
Archetypal signposts of mankind's spiritual crusade
Guardian angels of my opus
Sirens too!

The obsidian swamp draws me
Seductive, bewitching
Swallows me whole, body and soul
Consumes my passion, my energy
Renews me
Seals the lid on Pandora's Box

Origin 14by *steveoxley

Traditional Art / Drawings / Psychedelic

Well, this certainly was a labour of love. Very happy with the pattern, but too many different pens mean that on close inspection it all looks too rough. Live and learn. This is 42cm x 42cm and had to take it to a printer with a large format scanner. What a waste of time and $. It came out awful, so I resorted to the trusty Kodak.
