Portrait from “Death is Like Stepping Out of an Ill-Fitted Shoe (2)”

Mr. chrysalis loves wearing bow ties, especially ones in shades of pink. His big shoes have outgrown his home, and he doesn't like how muddy they get in the rain. It could be worse he keeps telling himself. He could be the one getting wet if he was the part that had outgrown his abode instead.

Inspired by 18th century portraits this series puts one’s attention on only one of the Beings found within the oil & mixed medium painting. Intuitive layers of oil, cold wax, embroidery, and solvents were used to build up ‘Death is Like Stepping Out of an Ill-Fitted Shoe’, a part of my Stories on Wood Collection.

Printed with a professional grade printer, I use archival pigment inks on fine art paper. Therefore, do not place in direct sunlight unless framed with UV protective glass. 8” x 10” prints will fit nicely into a standard 8” x 10” frame.

My images are reproduced according to the scale/proportions of the original painting. Therefore, each print will have around a 1/2" white border (maybe more depending on the original proportions of the painting) on the top, sides, and bottom. The title of the painting and my studio name are printed underneath the image. Your order will arrive packaged in a protective stiff mailer.
