The Ram Queen Painting

this painting is titled "the Ram Queen" it is inspired by my love of the mysterious and enigmatic in film, music, and art. she is regal, and robed, an enigma for you to unriddle. The Ram Queen has an enigmatic, slightly eerie quality to the figure which is grand and imperial at the same time. The painting asks you to consider the paradox: the ram cannot be a queen, and the queen cannot be a ram. It is disjointing, a clue, requiring you to pay attention. The Ram Queen was inspired by Mazzy Star's "Fade into you" and is about the impossible sadness in love: freezing in time, a particular kiss: until it becomes a symbol of a kiss which contains the promise of entering into another, and through them the hope of becoming complete; of understanding the unknowable you. Consider that most tricky of mirrors, love. The desire to be seen through the eyes of another, as much an illusion in the quest to know ourselves as a Russian woman reading your palm. This is a figurative painting in my expressionist symbolic style, painted on high quality stretched canvas and is unframed, measuring 36x36 x2 inches. I am delighted to offer you “The Ram Queen” reduced from $1070 to my FIRE-SALE price. I live 40 miles from the recent Northern California fires. While my studio is intact the gallery that sells my work was impacted. As painting sales constitute my only income, and with art sales taking a back seat to rebuilding, I reduced my prices by 45% in the hopes that collectors will take advantage of this FIRE-SALE. I know that people feel helpless when they imagine lives destroyed by natural disasters. They want to help and are looking for ways to touch the lives of those who are suffering. Despite our limited resources, my ten-year-old helped me put together care packages for children whose homes had been destroyed. Knowing we had helped in some small way honored our profound interconnection. Similarly, your patronage helps our family out in very concrete ways. LISTEN to the song that inspired my painting, "Fade into You" by Mazzy Star. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uJ61jgFCMM NOTE. paintings are signed in the lower right corner as well as on the back THANK-YOU for your excitement about my paintings.
