"Ascetic" 2015 Painting

Oil on canvas board. Monks or lay followers paying obeisance to an enlightened one. This was several, several months in the making since it was closely tied with my personal spiritual growth at the time. I finished it in May 2015 and put a signature on it in July (not seen in image). It questions what we choose to worship as social beings living in a time that can broadly be called a cross between war-torn and suicidal. Built almost entirely on dark colors, I was able to add thinned lightcolored flowers and other artifacts on top of the painting as well as highlight the paint texture of the night sky. (I was trying to add stars, but screwed up,) Based mostly on my struggle understanding the mentor-disciple relationship in contemporary times.
