...no...far away from focus, I'm joking about the french term "foyer"...

Leader is the wood of spalted beech
I tried to do justice as best to the mushroom's figuration
I don't know about you, but in the position I present the picture, I see the island with mysterious Cyclop's cave open flush with the shore,
and coming from behind the veil of Ulysses' ship ... whole future history !

Ulysses, the first modern man who used intelligence more than shear strenght or power, the man who wanted to be a man rather than an hero, but that has been forgotten by the contemporary men. Certainly he is there, tied to the must while his men are bringing him to safety with wax in their ears. I see him, the first modern man who did not want to be a hero.

I also see a boat/ship in a vast ocean sailing to an unknown place. Again an beautiful piece.

Lionel, i like your vision and the story behind and a lot of your past works, i'm as well think you did a great justice to the wood that was going through your hands, i have one question:did you paint black the inside?

No, I didn't, that's just the darkness.
