Description
Acrylic, 36X48 inches. 1994.A good example of my having to "redeem a canvas". I had worked on a piece for around four months and gotten so bogged down in details... it had almost become like an endless chess game (and I was losing).
In a fit of exasperation I gessoed over the whole thing and painted this piece in about a week. I regret to this day having dstroyed the painting under this one, but sometimes you are unlucky enough to get a cursed canvas, and are fortunate to be able to redeem it at all.
I still have a few in gesso purgatory.

I've heard of cursed paintings before.
People that brought a cursed painting into their home also brought in some nastiness.

That always happens when people buy cezanne's paintings.

WOW! This is amazing. I can't even get my head around it, because it's so perplexing and cool *3*

This is amazing. Reminds me of Ray Bradbury for some reason. Or Dali.
Congratulations on the DD.

The symbols, the water, the desert, the holy child with the knife reminded me of Frank Hebert's Dune. Specifically Alia.

This is very original, and it was a lucky painting (that didn't end up in gesso purgatory). I am interested in the symbolism.

Haha. Makes me think of something you'd see in Monty Python, and then they'd all get squashed by the huge foot while "Liberty Bell March" plays.
Not to lessen the work you did on this- I'm not. I like how angry the angel looks, like you've screwed up her whole life by giving her a birthday cake and a drinking fountain.
