Tangled and mangled they were found. Amidst lies and deceits of their own making. Never realizing how enmeshed they had become in their own deceits. Attached to their lies for eternity. Never being able to see what their perfidy had done to them. A Hell of their own making. Jailed to the bedrock of their lies with no escape possible. It started small, as most lies do, then grew to an enormity that encompassed their entire life and so within this dark shadowed existence they were to remain till the crack of doom awoke.
One said aloud for all to hear, “how do I stop this perpetual torture? Is there any way to escape this bondage?” I watched silently as this terrible scene unfolded before my eyes. I did not wish to be seen by these helpless lost souls for I feared that they would petition me to somehow end their misery. I could only remain their witness, I thought, not their liberator. And so my dream, no my nightmare, continued until my reprieve arrived in the morning’s light.
This nocturnal visitation was so alarming and so vivid that it demanded testimonial and so I grab my brushes and my paints and proceeded to recall what I had witnessed the night before. So here is a little tale of woe brought to life by oil, canvas and these words recalled Sir Walter Scott “Oh, what tangled webs we weave when first we practice to deceive”. visionary imagist “Joey”

This is really imaginative. He looks like he has a really big Pinocchio nose, too!
H M Bascom
Our lies will entangle us in the end, eh? Great work.
Kitsmumma
Fantastic, your work is amazing. I love how you have portrayed the feeling of entaglement.

I think this one is my favorite of all as well as the verse. The words of Sir Walter Scott were told to my children many times while rearing them. Magnificent work!!!
Deri Dority
This is so cool! I love your translation of the mess that happens when people weave lies into their lives. Brilliant.
Helene Kippert

Wow Joey, to be able to recall your dreams and bring them to life on canvas is wonderful and to do it so well, enjoy the reading as much as the art work…well done
Linda Syms
Excellent work Joey.
Wendy Slee
what amazing beauty you have created from something that was a nightmare….. does this mean there is hope for us, even if we have entangled ourselves in any such darkness…..? Is there an awakening, or some beauty behind it, as in your painting?

Birgitta
Stellar work here Joey! I’m in awe…
all of the intricate lines & detailed bits…the time it must have taken!
And the message is great too.
Carmen Cilliers
Brilliant! I love the colour combinations used, the subtle figure entwined in the web he has woven. Actually, I’ll change that – when I take a longer look it’s almost like he is trying to suppress the untruths, or drag the truth into the open… or is he trying to break free before the web in the background closes in on him? This is simply fabulous!
andrea verstegen
very clever how you’ve managed to incorporate Pinocchio and his long nose into the gnarled branches. I also like your choice of color…..
