Title: Signs & Portents

Materials: Canvas (30" x 36"), Oils, Tarot Cards.

Done when I was still in the disastrous job that inspired my first painting, I was at a very down point in my life.  Using my limited knowledge of tarot, and the handy booklet that comes with the deck, I laid out the worst tarot reading I could create as a sort of “exorcism” to put all my bad luck into the painting.  Like Seraphim, this painting is slathered with a thick layer of oil paint that you just can’t resist running your fingers over.

I confess: the title of this is actually taken from the title of a "Babylon 5" TV episode.
