I was trying to capture another bit of the spirit of a horror novel, which has hell as a major theme, when I created this. I painted it on the same day as I did “De Profundis” and using the same materials. Originally, I wanted to use only a touch of white, but when I added more than I intended, I used just a touch more to give the work some balance and a bit of action.

“De Profundis” is Latin for “out of the depths”. It is the opening of the Latin translation of Psalm 130: “Out of the depths I cry unto you…” I am writing a horror novel with hell as major theme. I wanted a painting that somehow caught a bit of the spirit of the novel. I started out by toying with some leftover spray paint and house paint and this is the end result.
Another work created by using a photograph of a Danse Macabre from a Renaissance Faire and Photoshop Elements 2.0. I tinkered with the photo until what you see here emerged. I named it for the first impression that popped into my mind.
