Would love to see a close-up of the image -- I'm intrigued after reading your description of the media used!

That's the drawing wich shows a lot more detail than the photo of the finished piece.

This is a truly splendid example of embedding fine art into 'other' kinds of visual cultural/mechanical artefacts. At best the symbiotic effect is increased manifold. The tacky, religious pink's great both in contrast and in complement to the work's sly sexuality. I'm enthusiastic about this piece.

Oh wow beautiful work! I love the style of Early Ren triptychs.

Thank you! Yes, that was a time of true elegance I think.

Like it. You should paint the inside of the doors. Make it a triptych.

Thanks a lot for the idea. But it's already sold and I think the owner likes it just the way it is.

I Do like these frames, though. Thought about trying to make something similar myself. John U Abrahamson is another artist who frames his stuff as though he were Fra Angelico (although his scenes are less than heavenly).

LOL... quite a comparison!

Divine as always Reinhardt.I have missed you and your wonderful creations,but somehow you always manage to make the wait worthwhile. I love the idea of the frame which reveals more than one would expect given the design of the frame.

The frame takes this piece into deeper territory. The integration of a relatively fragmented, yet peaceful, or even transcendent subject, with undeniable reference to an iconographic altar invites us to meditate at the shrine of your vision. The fact that you do these behind glass is a whole additional set of layers to consider. And all this blah, blah, aside, it's a beautiful sight.

and it is totally outdone by your unbelievable comment. Wish I could do magic with words like that!
Thank you

You're welcome. I find that the words come when I take the time to move beyond what I like and dislike, beyond technique, and into questions about meaning. I ask myself to describe what I see and to entertain the possibilities of what it might mean. I look for themes.
Sometimes I hit upon an insight that is valuable to the artist, but more importantly, looking at my own art in this way helps me to better understand myself and the world that I live in.
Do your paintings "speak" to you? Do you notice a difference between what you intend to say in a piece, and what actually comes out when you reflect upon the messages of your creation?
No need to answer all this, but you took the time to write back so I thought I share a few thoughts.

I appreciate your wonderful words very much. Funny you should mention the communication between the art and the artist. I always say, listen to what it offers. The painting will show you what it wants and needs. You just follow the hints!

OMG this is outstanding I LOVE it!!! How did you ever come up with the idea and what are you going to do with it??

Hm, where does an idea come from... guess it's not that hard for a twisted mind.
It was sold to a collector and friend

I like the whole idea of the cabinet it's in but I especially love your painting!!

Thank you! The painting is the "hard" part

Love it! The framing is a piece of art as well. Great merge!

The frames for the originals are very important to me and as a piece of the artwork, I always design them myself and often make them too!

Oh wow, you should show them more often then! Love to see them. : )
