Beastly Judgement
I began this painting in May 2007, and I hoped to have it finished before New Year's...and as such I finished it today! It is the kind of more conceptual picture I would like to do if I had more time. This may also be the best picture I get of it until spring due to lack of light.
The idea also came at a time when I was frustrated with the inconsistent actions of several people. Just who were they, or trying to be? The businessmen on the left is a wolf wearing a rabbit mask - appears friendly, but isn't. The businesswoman is a sheep wearing a lion mask - hiding her good nature behind a fierce face. As businesspeople, they are a metaphor for conformity. In the middle there's an average person, who is not trying to hide anything. The mask for the central person is a horse. I have always believed that there's an inherent honesty in the nature of horses, so it was a perfect symbol. An honest person is never someone other than themselves.
