I agree, they do get progressively stranger and almost shiver-producing, but it’s almost like looking closely into someone else’s eye and seeing inside it. Well done!
These reminded me of two things – one, Victorian portraits, but maybe seen reflected back from a dusty window, and the other of ultrasound images of babies, each image more enigmatic than the last.
Hello Karen, I am not someone who press like without commenting, it is for me a matter of respect to your work. I press like this time because of the naming in relation to your work , “Ingress”. it bears al lot of expressions and it set me up to work on that topic to. The last one is for me my favor because it indeed made an ingress from something in real life to something you wanna express. The first one , the same but that something is more expressed for a person or the artist. cheers bart
There’s a touch of Ingres in the ingress – the warmth and colors, the oval face. I think the first one moves me the most – it’s a treat to be able to click on your blog and not know what treasure will be next..
Oh I like these, Karen, especially the top one – because it gives the clearest look at its subject – I wouldn’t want the person portrayed any more clearly, this is just right. Adrian
Beautiful Karen! They look like they have come from another age, particularly the first one. And then someone ate too many magic mushrooms, maybe one of them was a little funny … ☺️
Gorgeous, Karen. I really love how you’ve applied your multiple exposure techniques to your portrait subject. You’re style and vision is becoming so distinctive.
Karen, these images, for me, are in step with the search for identity that is rippling through England. Jane Austin comes to mind, which opens up the flood gates to the English classics. Very timely and once again, beautifully crafted.
draw and shoot 
Oh these are loverly, Karen, and just a bit creepy….which is a good thing!
Ha, thank you, Johnny. Slipping through a portal can be a little ominous at times.
; )
Very interesting approach, I like it. Karen.
Thanks, Yoshi!
Beautiful images, but a a little Hotel California-ish. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

Love it so much, Karen!!
So so cute!!
Greetings Karen.

These are superb Karen! Love them!
So interesting, and creative. 🙂

Intensely beautiful. You’ve gently touched upon every exposed nerve. They communed, fell together and created one hauntingly evocative harmony.
Great abstract! 🙂
Beautifully realised, Karen – like snapshots from an eloquent, nerve-jangling, adult fairytale. Wonderful!
Fantastic! Mysteriously, disturbingly, invitingly vibrant. (And surely NOT abstract…) You are many steps ahead in exploring of other worlds. Again…

A different touch on good old portrait. Your style of course. Very good!

Ah! Lovely lovely! May I line these up for sots, too, please, Karen?
Hi Ashley, thank you! You are, of course, welcome to use any self portraits you’d like for sots and I would be honored to be included.

Wow these are chilling and tender all at the same time, little embryonic pulses under the flesh..
Gorgeous, Karen. I really love how you’ve applied your multiple exposure techniques to your portrait subject. You’re style and vision is becoming so distinctive.
Images of romanticism. Beautiful.

Your comment is fabulous, Tim, thank you!
My pleasure. You keep turning the work out, always a joy to see.
Oh! I like!!! ❤
