Worship/Worry/Worshipped

Worship/Worry/Worshipped   oil/canvas   30 x 20x 1.5

This painting has arisen from the ashes of my attic.  Originally entitled "Living in the Light", it was painted over 20 years ago from 3 studio sessions with a model...her name was Wilma. At that time, my goal was to sift and sort the visual information in front of me to compose a work that, well, looked like the scene in front of me.

My process has evolved.  My life has evolved and, as a result, my beliefs have followed suit.

And I started to wonder about Wilma....and her motivations on Sunday mornings.  Perhaps all is the same for her.

Much of this work was covered over and recreated imposing my own ideas onto her. Her worry and her submissive worship have been transformed.  She is the Goddess (Goodness), the one worthy of being worshipped.  Thoughtful painting.
