No More Milk ...

Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
-Mother would sometimes go dancing and drinking for days at a time ... my wife tells me, of her childhood when their home was a trailer, when she and her brother would be left to care for the two younger children. When cereal and milk was the usual meal ... but sometimes there was no more milk. When the welfare money was gone, the dancing done and the drinking and beau no more, mother would return.
Now here rises Arieh, the Lion, who conquers the night sky; with shining bright star Denebola, the judge who comes, and brightest star Regulus, rendering Hydra, the snake the abhorred - judged by star Alphard, and sentenced to be vanquished and put out of the way. Crater, the cup of wrath spilled, and Corvus, raven, scavenger, bird of prey, with the star Minchar Alsugia, the deceiver torn to pieces.
But up ahead, to the right, there is light - Mother is forgiven and the deceiver is judged.

Matt --after viewing your site I was blown away. The art, the stories, etc. are so first class -- painting the "human condition" with whimsy is truly unique. I'll look up your daughter's book. BTW --thanks for the comments -- Bill

Dear B, Thank you for your wonderful words - i do need encouragement. Read the description and you will understand the sad parts of this painting ... your friend Matt
B Sikeir
The special and interesting from my look about your nice art is that you create na atmosphere in each one them, turning it single and live, and you keep or create just this wonderfull illumination that it pass a reality..and it confundes me at time ,because it dont seem that you used oil as médium, this ilusion is very cool,but it dont shows me a sad situation like others comment for here,maybe a past age..but the result is amazing. Bill.
Laurie Search
Wow...you've so beautifully illustrated the sad situation.....Very moving work, Matt....And I LOVE the Joshua trees....well, and every other little detail in this, too....the clothes on the line, the people inside the bar, the overflowing garbage, etc., and of course the sky....Just really incredible work!!!! fv
Matt Konar replied:
Laurie, I can actually visualize you driving by and seeing this scene, stopping and photographing it ...
Bradford Martin
Wow. I know this story.
Matt Konar replied:
Bradford, I hope your familiarity with this story is not too personal ... I shed many tears while painting this one ... but on the up side I really enjoyed viewing your photos - several favorites !
Margaret Pirrouette
your sky is fantastic, the whole painting works so well i love this one, there is a stillness and a sense of movement at the same time
Matt Konar replied:
Margaret, thank you for viewing my work ... i have taken the liberty to view your's also ... i am guessing that most are self portraits ... you have achieved a unique style and i congratulate you on that and the beautiful work - and your success in the many showings. - Matt
