The vortex produced by these currents can appear to create an aperture, falling away into immeasurable depths, sucking all things into the void and then disgorging them again.

Bliss Phases and the Full Moon

Here's more Bliss,

arranged as phases

made on (coincidentally?) the night of the full moon...







 

See?  Here's my lovely new watch to corroborate the fact...

Isn't she lovely...watch of mine...

Some Bliss

from Stage 2: Bliss or floating into the light - mandala workshop.





This is Bliss on Glass...

...and Bliss laying next to its Reflection,

Chicago Blizzard on LSD

Watercolor of Abandoned Cars on Lake Shore Drive by Susan Silvano

The first time I was able to leave home by car since The Blizzard was Saturday when I teach painting & drawing classes at Truman college.

Here's a watercolor painting done in class by Susan Silvano depicting the cars (hundreds)  that were stopped by the snow on Lake Shore Drive.  After being stranded for up to 10 hours, people were rescued, but the cars were abandoned there for two days.

No one from class was among them.
