A Beautiful Poisen-latest oil painting
My latest oil painting entitled, "A Beautiful Poison" oil and egg tempera on masonite, approx. (16"x20"). This piece was inspired by a sad personal event in my life some years ago, and the image of a sleeping bird, half dead/asleep came up and then I eventually combined it with the poppies, which are symbolic of sleep/death....as they languish there, there is the realization that everyone can become a slave to their poison, which can be anything in life-drugs.sex.power.food.money.,etc...it is so alluring that it is so easy to become blissfully unaware of the true state of your addiction.
