And now for something completely different, as Monty Python used to say. This unusual surrealism painting was based upon some notes and doodles from 2014, a year when I was busy selling one condo and buying another. My state of mind was that of having a lot money going out the window to a lot of people, such as inspectors, banks, agents etc. Perhaps that impacted the doodle somewhat. Actually, the design is a composite of several ideas merged together to create a sense of tension and absurdity. The yellow faces in the teeth are reminiscent of my lemon sunset series of abstract surrealism paintings. And me treading water is a rare self portrait in a way. I decided to label the painting with 2014 since it is more of a retrospective on some past notes. Hope you enjoy!
