The painting is square and is of a winter scene. 3 wolves are running down a hill above a cliff face. A moon is setting over the hill. In front of the moon is the silhouette of a person at the end of a trail of foot prints in snow. The cliffs are purple and dotted with small caves. Yellow eyes glow from within the caves to look at the viewer.

Memory of a Scrying Pool
Oil painting by Philadelphia artist Elizabeth Virginia Levesque. The Knee Breathers is a painting of what appears to be a swamp with purple water. Blue cypress trees sprout from the swamp, Two strange women are submerged in the water up to their eyes. Only the tops of their heads and knees can be seen above the water. Fireflies light up the shadows. A snake like creature with a woman's head is wrapped around one of the trees and looks down on the women in the water. The sky is a pale warm green lit with a large yellow sun.

    i know i am not a “real” art patron, critic, or even artist, but i really dig your work, Libby. there is a certain weightiness to your pieces on this site, but they are also dreamy, atmospheric, and jarring. i enjoy the iconic images left without further visual commentary. you have a light touch with heavy ideas, i think. there is mystery to them which is always best in broad strokes. anyway, i am enamored of your work here and the few other works i have seen.
