This work-in-progress is oil on masonite. I'm trying to paint a copy of Pieter Brueghel the Elder's Netherlandish Proverbs. If you're curious to see the original, you can do that here on Wikipedia's page about it:

This is an assemblage consisting of an old tool carrying box, an apple corer, a doll head and hand, a knife, a bible, an original polymer clay piece, a jewelry cross, a part of a yard ornament, a rosary bead cross and some vines. The title is Proverbs chapter 23 verse 2.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all they ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Don’t be wise in your own eyes.
Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil.
It will be health to your body,
and nourishment to your bones.
—Proverbs 3:7-8 (World English Bible)
In 1997, I bought this bible at a Barnes and Noble that sold used books. I'd never seen one before or since. The book attracted me because my mother owns a copy of the same edition.
Someone had written all over it in pencil. I also added my own yellow highlighting.
I was never crazy about the translations and recently bought myself a revised English bible with the Apocrypha.
I threw this copy in the recycling.
I miss it already.
