Figure Drawing Sketchbook (1968) Cover (2011)

Finished this cover for a sketchbook from my 1968 figure drawing class at Ventura College, Ventura, California. I want to experiment with a freer, mixed media style through an art journal and other pieces.

Descent

Finished this painting entitled "Descent" today. It started out to be a different painting than it turned out to be. I started experimenting with it after I got started. The Christ figure is an outline of Gruenwald's Crucifixion that was painted, rubbed off, and drastically altered. I added the flames of Hell below in that the cruciform Christ seemed to be falling through the middle of the cross. "Descent" is a double reference to Christ's "descent" from the cross and the Christian doctrine of Christ's "descent" to Hell. The photo is a bit darker than the painting itself.
