Morning in the Garden of the Dead

18" x 24" oil & blood on canvas

A surreal take on a Snow White type character, free-floating landscapes, and a haunting sky create a nightmarish scene with a serene undertone of bliss, tranquility, and beauty. Emotional dialecticism at it's finest.

I wanted to create something that encompassed conflicting emotions. I felt the use of my blood in the sky added a macabre element to further emphasize the dark aspects of this work.
