famine

8 x 10 oil on cradled masonite

I once had a dream of the apocalypse that was so terrifying It's vibrations still linger in my art today. Here is one of the four riders of the apocalypse. Famine is the third rider and he rides a black horse. In my dream there were no horses but the dream lead me on a long journey of exploring the apocalypse and the dark side of life (and death) in my work. Famine is generally shown holding scales; I am not sure I want them here--- it is still in progress. After painting a restaurant for 24 hours one can really enjoy painting a personal piece--it is like a kid eating desert after finishing your liver. These are strange times and there is little room for puppies and kewpie dolls in art.
