"The Ascetic", 3x4"

I consider the studio "sanctuary" where I get my dose of spiritual rejuvenation. I even go as far as to call mine an hermitage. It is where I manage to escape the world and all of it's crap. The one place that allows me to be left alone with the bare minimum I need to practice(don) a habit of scholarship, self discipline, devotion, and honest self criticism. And every now and then I get lucky..... learn something new..... accomplish something..... gain a little more insight..... allowed enlightenment.
