I painted this painting on top of beer bottle caps. The reason I painted this is I believe there is a direct correlation between alcohol and alcoholics and a deep seated need for zen or satori or nirvana. Drinking is a shortcut to zen or meditation. Meditation is hard. Drinking is easy. If you stare at this picture you will eventually see two figures on the shore of life preparing to take flight into "the light" or nirvana. Is it an alcoholic bliss or a pure bliss? This is part of my mosaic/ texture series my brain has led me on...
