A striking balance.
I like how the trident (held behind the back of the left-hand girl) feigns the servility of a dinner fork. And the following helped me to form an opinion on the right-hand girlβs taste in accessoriesβ¦
βThe "frog or toad goddess" was one of the chief cosmic deities connected with creation, on account of her amphibious nature, and chiefly because of her apparent resurrection, after long ages of solitary life enshrined in old walls, in rocks, etc. She not only participated in the organization of the world, together with Khnoom, but was also connected with the dogma of resurrection. There must have been some very profound and sacred meaning attached to this symbol, since, notwithstanding the risk of being charged with a disgusting form of zoolatry, the early Egyptian Christians adopted it in their Churches.β

Beautiful work! So much detail, so much evocative imagery, turning even the idea of an "American Classic" on its ear. A very inspired and thoughtful painting

Nice...I like all the symbolism. The hands meeting in the middle make me think of peace and war..being that the one woman's hand is shaped like a gun..while the other woman's hand is shaped like a peace symbol. You can't have anything without the opposite. Life and death, truth and deceit, love and hate, good and bad, etc.

the power of three
the fingers and the pronged fork
the little starfish in a sea of pansies
the toad, a tool of witchery
the red and gold mirrored in several places
and the textured black wave of hair.
simply lovely!
my god if you did a deck of Tarot!

I like the old-fashioned, naivist look and the two figures, but I find the background too colourful and messy
