Snakes and Puzzles

Final post of the day, here is an abstract painting I made awhile ago on a hot-press block. I am unsure when this was done, in fact, it was missing a signature, title, and date so it is a real puzzle. I believe it was done some time around 2009 when I made 'Addictive Puzzle'. There is a curious use of lighting- all the objects are lit by a source in the upper right, but the painting shows a light source in the upper left. It was done quite deliberately, because the cube shape under the light bulb clearly has the shadow on the wrong side. The background is like a tapestry that has its own internal light source, unaffected by the external lights. There also seems to be a yellow light from bottom right, perhaps signifying a fire.

15 x 11" hot press (block) watercolour. 2009?
