This series is inspired by the short story Hell is the absence of God by
Ted Chiang. Angels don't bring good cheer. Destruction and accidents
happen.
Years ago I went to Mexico. On the way there for an hour
butterflies splashed acrosst the dashboard. It was trutly disugsting.But
I never forgot about it.
I wanted to paint the angels for a long
time but did not know how to dress them. I saw an old musical with
Barbara Cook. In it the women wore hoop ski
rts. The outfits were really quaint and fun.
These are really small 12X12 paintings. I plan to paint thirty or so of them and group them together create something epic.
Three paintings 12X12, Acrylic mixed media
