Original artwork description:
With this work, I am showing an epiphany. The figure is shielding her eyes from some unhappy image. Perhaps there is a recognition that a change is necessary.
With a semi-abstract painting of this sort, where the artist is including a recognizable figure with pure abstract forms and color, the problem is always to mate the two in a way that makes both components compatible. Here I am using the female figure, the crescent moon and the text as a departure point, leading to the less definitive shapes and colors of the bulk of the painting. I have kept most of this painting within a pallet of cold colors to illustrate the somewhat depressing theme.
THE ROAD TO PERDITION is a one-of-a-kind original work of art. It is produced using India ink and acrylic paint. I have stayed with my usual pallet of warm “earthy” colors.
I only sell original work so there will only be one original. The painting is signed on the front and comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.
This painting will be shipped in a tube. The artwork is very easy to mount on any type of board: plywood, masonite, foamboard, etc. I include simple mounting instructions with each piece that I sell and also I include mounting tape, a hanging strip and a drywall hanging device. Everything that you need to mount your painting except the board. One of the images shows the painting as it will look when mounted with a two inch border all around.
If you prefer, I will mount the artwork on one inch thick foam board with a two or three inch border. It will be “ready to hang”, with a hanging strip attached to the back and a wall hanging device that is very simple to use. It will be shipped in a cardboard box. You may take it out of the box and have it hanging on your wall within five minutes. The extra charge is $50.00 for mounting and packaging plus the additional shipping costs,if any. Message me through this site and I will calculate the total costs for mounting and shipping.
