lalune

Lalune was done in August 2020. 50x60cm acrylic on canvas. I've done a rendition of the tarot card already, and am annoyingly fond of it many years later, but I wanted something both more and less classical. Here a character faces a silent world peopled only by vehicles on a river become road. The coffin-like cars or transport pods and the distant bridge represent the fears or dangers ahead. The empty buildings and streets, isolation. Bizarrely my camera loved this picture. Bizarre, as I never got comfortable with the colours myself. I'm still making my mind up about this. It sits on an awkward fence between expressionism, science fiction, and the depiction of tarot. I guess that's a fairly good summation of my personal situation. Mysticism, fine art, and illustration are fighting it out within me. They seem strangely incompatible.

Paintings, Illustrations, sketches, and zithers

Sometimes these images decorate sometimes they cheer, sometimes they don't

Always they transport
