FOURTH MAN Painting

The inspiration for this piece was William Shakespeare's Sonnet 116. I painted it during a particularly painful time in a cherished relationship. After many weeks, it finally morphed into this the finished work. The three dark figures are representative of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego of the book of Daniel; the golden figure represents the fourth man seen walking about in the fire. I finished it at the same time the fires were buring in California this summer. A consolation that no matter what the firey trial is that we face, there is one who is with us. A friend who sticks closer than a brother. Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O no! it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wand'ring bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me prov'd, I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.
