Expulsion---oil on board

As a kid I drew lots of scary pictures and lots of really nice pictures. My Mom never seemed to like me painting scary ones but we live in scary times and I sometimes paint the horrors of modern life..The idea of the expulsion is a very common theme in art that has scared me since childhood. They ate of the tempting fruit and were ex pulsed from the garden---- I am not sure what the symbolism really means. In my work it is the idea of leaving the garden of sanity and losing the reigns and slipping into madness. I dont think I will ever go crazy because I find humor in everything. (If I didnt life would be pretty grey.) I even laugh when I have serious setbacks. Black humor is a coping skill. I often wonder what people feel like when they start to "lose it" is it like being permanently in DMV? It is for sale. If you want pet photography go to another blog and eat some cheese.
