The Phoenix


I posted this painting on Craig's List. A guy at work suggested I do that. I don't know - no nibbles. Anyway, . . .

"The Phoenix"
16"x20"
Oil
1998
$350.00









Trouble usually comes in torrents - when it rains it pours. My mother had just died and I was in art school. Everything was going wrong, but I tried to paint a phoenix rising from the ashes. I was really pleased with the can of paintbrushes but decided to paint Jesus over the Mickey Mouse phoenix. Painting and Jesus are what got me through 1998.
