 St. Jerome in the WildernessI started with St. Jerome in the Wilderness because of the voids and perceived “incompleteness”. It certainly does look incomplete. |  Louvre Mona LisaWhile I can see She is filled with hidden artefacts that I have yet to understand, I found large stones on Her image left shoulder and a notch in rocks farther to the left. After quite a bit of searching, I found an image of Dolmen du Crapaud from behind its large leaning stone and other stones around it. The stones look very much like the stones on her shoulder. |  BacchusThere are a lot of pointing things in this painting, both hands, a big toe, and a staff. I have not resolved anything with the top
hand or the staff yet, but the bottom hand is pointing down into a dark area where you concealed a representation of the outline of Hoedic Island, the finger pointing into the general area of the dolmen and menhir on the island. The big toe is pointing to a letter V for a yet to be determined purpose. |  Virgin and Child with St. AnneYour Virgin and Child with St. Anne and the positioning of the figures suggested Orion’s Belt Stars to me right away and the overlay confirmed it. You passed along the significance of the Belt Stars to Cesare da Sesto which he incorporated in his Virgin and Child with Lamb, after yours. Cesare did not use figures to encode the Belt Stars but rather stones accurately represented on the ground. |  Ginevra de BenciI am fascinated by this one because it offers so many challenges to decode. Since I had learned your Orion’s Belt Stars tell, Ginevra was the first one I tried it on to see if the 3rd star marked anything. I scaled and aligned the stars with her eyes, right to left as always. The 3rd star marked a darkened area on her hairband. I cleaned up the image to reveal what looks like Cypriot Syllabary symbols at the 3rd star. Not only had I found symbols, but I also proved the tell... |  Portrait of a MusicianPortrait of a Musician was featured in a recent article about a conservation effort that revealed musical notes on the paper the musician is holding, his fingers pointing to them. What was not noticed was the encoding of Orion’s Belt Stars in the positions of the notes on the scale. I call this daisy chaining because the alignment holds while advancing the pattern one star at a time. |

 The AnnunciationWhat I took notice of was the distance between the Angel and the now not so Virgin Mary, it just seemed odd to me, and purposeful. I just started staring at your work in the void between the Angel Gabriel and Mary, specifically the trees in the background. Then paragraph 48 came back to me, and I focused on the outline of the trees.
And then I saw it, starting between the trees in the background to the left, down then to the right under and along the bottom of the trees. |  Virgin of the RocksVirgin of the Rocks had more to offer that I missed when I found the southern Bretagne coastline profile in the cavern opening. Up to this point, the
fourth megalithic site had proven elusive until I revisited the painting as part of an overall re-look. I did not miss it this time. On the right side of the cavern is an opening with a standing stone centered in it. Above it are two narrow stones intersecting at an angle. These narrow stones suggested
Dolmen du Crapaud to me... |  Saint John the BaptistThis was to be your last painting, another suspected Salai occurrence, and the keeper of your knowledge of what is hidden on Hoedic Island. Such a jolly face, but we gravitate to the raised hand, what we call the “John gesture”. Most believe it is a gesture to God above and assign “Dios” to it without necessarily recognizing the hand is signing the letter D. I ‘followed” the finger into the dark above and around it. |
