Paintings of Betty and Barney Hill's Alien Abduction

David Baker was always interested in the paranormal. He sat in on an interview with Betty and Barney Hill while they were under hypnosis, and created these paintings from their descriptions of the events of their abduction in the 1960s.

From Amazon.com, about the book, Captured:

The 1961 abduction of the Hills stirred worldwide interest, primarily because of the book The Interrupted Journey, the subsequent media coverage, and a 1975 TV movie, The UFO Incident. The case is mentioned in almost all UFO abduction books. It also became a target for debunkers, who still attack it today.
Kathleen Marden

But the complete story of what really happened that day, its effect on the participants, and the findings of investigators has never been told...until now.

In Captured! you'll get an insider's look at the alien abduction, previously unpublished information about the lives of the Hills before and after Barney's death in 1969, their status as celebrities, Betty's experiences as a UFO investigator, and other activities before her death in 2004.

Kathleen Marden, Betty Hill's niece, shares details from her discussions with Betty and from the evidence of the UFO abduction. She also looks at the Hills' riveting hypnosis sessions about their time onboard the spacecraft. The transcripts of these sessions provide insight into the character of the aliens, including their curiosity, their democratic discussions, and their desire to avoid inflicting pain.

In addition, co-author, physicist, and ufologist Stanton T. Friedman, the original civilian investigator of the Roswell Incident, reviews and refutes the arguments of those who have attacked the Hill case, including the star map Betty Hill saw inside the craft and later recreated.

I went hunting for links to 'vitreous flux watercolor technique' and found these:

Indian Painting in vitreous flux by my mother

My mother, Trudy Faust, and I visited David in his gallery and studio sometime in the 1980's. Soon after that she produced this gorgeous painting. Not only is it not muddy, but has clean, gemlike colors, but the subject matter is deep and evocative. All of humanity's suffering and nobleness are in that face. Don't you agree?
