Title: Die Walkure

Materials: Canvas (36" x 48") & Acrylics

This was my first painting, not counting two or three that I had to do a decade before it for a high-school art class.  This was the product of extreme frustration; I was stuck in a horrible job, filled with hatred for everything I was doing (yes, I’m no longer in that job), and I doodled this on a piece of paper during a meeting.  On the drive home that night I decided for no sane reason that I had to paint it, and the next day I started doing just that.  After that, painting became a way of releasing my frustrations.

Painted while listening to Wagner’s Die Walkure.
