Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
Faster and faster the fan moves,
the wind blows through the holey sail,
marshmallow toasting,
rudder broom,
guide us down,
down the burning Eridanus.
The constellation in the sky is Eridanus the river of fire ...
The lady in the bow has a credit card tucked in her bathing suit and one at her ankle... The fellow behind her is munching a flavorful brownie ... the fellow fanning the sail loves the meth ... the man roasting the marshmallow is on his second six-pack ... the lady with the rudder broom is trying to steer and control them all ...

A thought provoking image. Maybe we are all on the ship of fools in on way or another. Beautifully done, as always. Your work reminds me work by an artist friend of mine and makes me smile.
Matt Konar replied:
maybe yes and maybe no and maybe some more than others . . . I hope I am mostly not on. Thank you and you certainly have a wonderful way with forest and trees . . .

Beautiful. Your usage of lighting here is superb. I feel like I'm right there watching them. The color palette you've used is vibrant and comfy at the same time.

Wow, your work is great. I really, really dig the edginess of it. Each image tells such a great story, Aesop's Fable like stories. Technically they are great too. Can't wait to look at more. FVW
