20X20X1.5"
ACRYLIC ON CANVAS
$2000

THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP TO A LARGER PAINTING I DID YEARS AGO AT MY OJAI, CA, STUDIO. MY EARLIER WATERCOLORS HAVE BEEN AN INSPIRATION FOR SEVERAL OF MY LARGER PAINTINGS IN OIL OR ACRYLIC. ONE CLIENT HAS PURCHASED A PHOTO PRINT OF THIS IMAGE IN A LARGE FORMAT METAL MEDIUM AND IT MAKES A DRAMATIC VISUAL IMPACT ON HIS ENTRY FOYER.

THE ORIGINAL THEME IS TAKEN FROM DANTE ALIGHIERI’S LITERARY PIECE THE DIVINE COMEDY, WHICH INCLUDES THE PHRASE, “ABANDON ALL HOPE, YE WHO ENTER HERE.”
