Ramesses II at Luxor Temple
February 1, 2008


While rearranging the Egyptian inspired gallery, I wasn't happy with my bug eyed earlier attempt, so I had another try...

Looking at the old statue, it seems to me Ramesses II is speaking to me from the past, his spirit somehow still present in that statue. So I tried to capture a bit of what I sense from that spirit. Again, it is so incomplete and sketchy, but perhaps in the future, I'll do better still.

I noticed that the photo from which I drew had the photographer's name in the corner, so I googled his name to find the photo online. While there, I saw another statue of Ramses, in better shape than the first one, so I drew a second Ramesses II at Luxor Temple.
