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 would say I find this one especially disturbing, and that would be true, but it would also fail to express my amazement and love for it.

There is no need for me to tell you how good it is, because you already know it, so all i can say is wow.

Mary dances for the angels
She's a puppet turned to queen
She's the harlot of the holy
Only angels hear her sing

Her big toes have face...., so many tales in this one. Fabulous! Is it even close to the one you covered up?

Oh, good grief!
So there really IS water on Mars! :) This is as fantastic (and haunting) as anything you've painted..though I wish you hadn't told the story of the original painting you were working on, because it leaves me realllly wanting to know what you had going on in that one. That water fountain takes me back in my mind to one of my earliest memories, when I was 4 years old. I was in an old J.C. Penney store...shopping with grandparents. I wanted a drink of water, but I was too short...so my grandfather held me up to a fountain that looked much like this one. He told me to put my mouth in position and then say "come on water"..and I did. Incredibly, without me or him doing anything all with our hands, the water came streaming out and I drank. I was so amazed that I made him hold me there for a long time, doing that trick over and over until I was totally bloated. It took me until I was about 12 to realize some of those water fountains have a footbar to make the water flow. :+fav:

I love it when you do that effect on floors. Such a great piece. Always impressive.

Im amazed! You should make movie and post it on youtube how you painting these awesome details with atomizer and stuff.
Very interesting atmosphere, there is a successful blend of that timeless feel and identifiable modern content. Visually I like the blood, but it does seem a little out of place content wise.
