Rusi changes?

I started with this version, which I printed large,

about 12" x 50" but a year later I am not happy.

I suppose this is why my blog is "Under Construction"

I've never presented a work in progress before.  

  I've combined two images and am impressed

by the initial result.  I worked Rusi before but haven't

been satisfied that I've conveyed the initial astonishment

of seeing the original presentation by candle light.

I think I have to go with a black and white image.  

This is Rusi, I first met him in a Nang shadow

puppet theater in Thailand.  Nang is a traditional

shadow performance with Buddhist and Hindu 

influences.  The themes concern Karma.  Rusi

is a hermit you might encounter in the forest.

Unfortunately, he knows everything about you.
