The Poison Makes Her Prettyby `kolaboy

Traditional Art / Paintings / Surreal

Acrylic, 16X24. Completed last July.

Scanned and assembled. And I thought photographing a painting was fun

*
The first piece I completed after what was likely the worst month of my life (June). I've no idea if the events of said month influenced this painting since I tend to submerge all unpleasantness beneath the miles of permafrost that I've allowed to accumulate over the years (self-preservation, ya know). There shall be no clubbing of baby seals in my arctic preserve.
I ask questions, but I pray that the answers never come. "Bless me with mystery, and shroud me with shadows..." (Keb)

But I (as usual) digress...

I thank you, dear people, for looking

I really like this painting; I dig all kinds of surrealist work, but this is like... a more simplistic surrealism? Whatever it is, I like what ya got going on.
