This is a piece of limestone that I painted on in 2000. I have one question. Where's Imhotep?

Great Work Chris! Superbly created, Interesting color concepts with a great field of perception! Imhotep sounds Mayan to me?

Artist Reply: Thank You so very much, John!

Chris where is this sculpture placed? Imhotep coined the saying "Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we shall die." He left an impression on this world in more than one way! By the way I love the eye...........

Artist Reply: Thank You, Marilyn! This water eroded limestone sculpture sits in My workroom. I found this stone snorkeling on L. Huron in the summer of 2000. I took the picture outside for lighting purposes for better effects. I could'nt believe it when I found this stone. I knew right away what I would paint on it. I also have a knack for discovering things. I could probably find Imhoteps resting place if given the opportunity. Also, I was studying Egyptology when I found this stone. Powerful! Also, Horus is Alive and well.
