An original oil painting on canvas panel
24x20", unframed
A decade or two ago I did a series of folk art/ fantasies to be used for a collection
of Christmas cards. They were all based on Eastern Mediterranean themes, and were
intended to capture a feel for those traditional, old cultures, so resistant to change,
where three, powerful, monolithic religions were born. The paintings are deliberately
primitive in design, disregarding perspective in favor of flattened, decorative patterns
and shapes, like the innocent charm of early, Christian mosaics, brightly illuminated
manuscripts, and religious icons.
A half dozen or so of those paintings are still around, so I thought this might be an
opportune time to post a few of them in the blog, if anyone would like to see them.

to all the visitors who stop by to view this blog. Thank you for looking, and let me
know if there are some specific kinds of things which you would like to see more often.
