  A mysterious Margie masterpiece. Nice ink effects!

  LOL! Thank you – I love your description.
  I sure have missed being here in this forum. I am trying diligently to get in here on a regular basis. I have withdrawal symptoms daily. And I’ve missed a month’s worth of great sketches and drawings!

  reminds me of a stain that many believe is Jesus!!! Very good though. Well done.

  This one is astonishing. I really love it. It’s pretty real because of the depths you get with the dark colors. It reminded me of Marlon Brando in “Superman” where his face appears and is very real but somehow also not.

  Wow. great piece. Did you flow fountainpenink on moist paper? I tried that a few times but never achieved this fabulous effect.

  Wonderful control of ink flow here.

  Thank you all. I agree about how it looks like a face emerging from a stain. Maybe I could sell it on eBay as Jesus?
  Renefijten, I wet the paper and flowed the ink from a really wet brush, not a pen. I couldn’t have achieved this with a pen.
  I let it dry and then I wet the paper one more time with water from a sponge (this produced the very pale green wash) and painted in just a little bit more ink from my brush.
  I love how ink separates into different colors, and how it flares out along the edges rather than making a straight edge.
