Hi Deb, Hi All,
Thank you very much for posting these wonderful paintings by Jane and these documents as well. I really enjoy them.

I particularly like the last painting, 11-20-05.jpg, the painting of the evergreen tree with the blue bark. This painting looks very “real” to me.
I also like the painting that leidl mentioned, 11-20-01.jpg, the one with the 2 people in the blue orb in the sky, with what appears to be maybe the earth below it. For this one, I’m really attracted to it due to the implications suggested by the subject matter of the painting itself. Our consciousness is capable of flight that’s completely independent of our earthbound reality.

However, I’m also really attracted to the painting, 11-19-03.jpg, also due to the subject matter of the painting itself. In this painting, Jane seems to be playing with the nature of reality itself. This painting kind of reminds me of one of “Escher’s” paintings.
In this image, it appears that Jane is sitting on a chair at a table. This table appears to contain a vase, with perhaps a rose in it and a mirror on her right side and two smaller glass type objects on her left side. While sitting that this table. Jane is facing a large oval shaped mirror and we see this entire view from the back of Jane who’s facing this mirror.
In the reflection of this mirror, we see Jane's face while she’s sitting on a chair at a table. However, in this reflected image, the vase with the rose in it, is on the wrong side of the image.
To see what I mean, let’s say that you’re in a room, you’re facing south and you're looking directly into a large mirror. Now, while in this room if you raise your right hand, your right hand is oriented such that it is located to the west of your head. Now, with your right hand raised, the image that is reflected back to you from the mirror, indicates that you raised the hand that is to the west side of your head. This however would not be your right hand. It would be your left hand instead. If you lowered your right hand and turned around facing north, the same direction as your image reflected in the mirror and then raised the hand that was to the west of your head, it would be your left hand, not your right hand. This is the weird reality of reflected images. In reflected mirror images, the objects typically stay on the same side, the west in my example.
In Jane’s painting however, the reflected image of the vase and the other objects on the table aren't on the same side. They're on the other side instead. Now here’s a million dollar question. Did Jane do this on purpose? What do you think?
In addition to this, I also noticed that she has what appears to be another image of the large oval mirror in the painting. This kind of thing happens whenever we have a large mirror directly in front of us and large mirror directly behind us. When this occurs we often see an endless repetition of images going on forever, of for example both our face and of the back of our heads. In Jane's painting however, this repetition of images going on forever doesn’t seem to occur. Instead, it only seems to happen just once, which I’m not sure is possible in our 3D physical world reality.
True to form, like much of Jane’s writings, this painting of hers gives us a lot to think about in regards to the true nature of reality.
