November 1st is known as el dia de los muertos or Day of the Dead which originated in Mexico. I like the iconography associated with the celebration. Here’s my interpretation of it.
Mixed media on board 2009
Acrylic on oil painting canvas textured paper. Standard A3 I really didn’t have anything much in mind for this in concept, I just wanted to be unrestricted and let it flow in what ever direction I felt I wanted this to go in. I did have a reason for painting another self portrait. The group Bubbler Portraits is currently holding a challenge to paint a portrait of me and I am allowed to enter so I really wanted to attempt something new. I guess I ended up mixing a few different things I sometimes do in my paintings to end up with this result. When I finished it I wanted my beloved to know that I am always watching over him with my great love and prayers…that I believe completely in miracles and in the wonder and awesomeness of God…these were my feelings when I stepped back to view my work. MUCH love, beauty, joy and God’s miracles to you all!! Detail / / /

My pal Sachi took a great photo of me in Hallowe’en costume among the winter squash. Okay, it wasn’t really a costume, just my old punker gear from back in the 1980s. But the mohawk was genuine! Once litho’d it still had a lot of intensity. This piece is also available as a t-shirt:
