R69 Raven, Creature and Dog
24 x 24" oil on panel
corporate collection (sold)
The figures are taken mostly from my sketchbook: the little person with only head and hands, the raven and the dog arguing with each other. The little person here is caught between two strong and loud parties! I added one of my orange begonias, in the role of oversized plant, and some of the green leaves growing outside in the yard.
In this painting, the veins on the plants and the petals on the flower stand out, alive with growth and pattern, but the creatures are flat like cutouts, trapped in their two-dimensional view of the universe, and their loud debate, while around them everything grows in and out of invisible dimensions, endlessly. The little person seems to say, "If only they would be quiet and look around at these wonderful things."
