Another homage to Caravaggio, a favorite painter. Here is all sorts of universal and personal symbolism slapped around with the medium of oil paint and ink.

Very powerful and a great homage. The gravity and the tension of the scene is well communicated love it

I like it even better than the original. Or maybe: this one is more suited to the modern viewer's sensibility.

Thanks. I'm never interested in copying a piece as an interpretation; its about making something my own.

So monotypes are based on oils and ink?

Great work, very intense... your work is full of all sorts of paths and solutions, I like that. Keep em'coming!

Thank you. Yes, I use oil paints and oil based etching inks, turps, on plexiglass.
