I THINK IT'S FINISHED
Unless I see something

                                    of Reference  (formerly
                                    known as Prism, formerly known as My
                                    DNA ) is done. Here it is along with
                                    a close-up of the top left-hand corner where
                                    I've painted a version of the whole
                                    snapshot of my parents which was the basis
                                    for the two central figures.
                                                        I
                                    believe this painting is about different
                                    dimensions of space and time and maybe multiple
                                    universes but any and all interpretations
                                    are welcome.

I love how the painting opens up a seemingly endless depth and a complicated world beyond the surface, as if the people in the picture were only the curtain, beyond which the drama unfolds.
Maria,that's it exactly. The actual story is somewhere behind the surface. That's why it was so difficult to reach a point when I could say: enough, stop right here.
What Maria said. And I've been reading you long enough to have an inkling what the pyramids are doing there!
Dave, well the pyramid certainly harks back to ancient Egypt but in this case it was also inspired by an object in my studio: a construction I made some years ago featuring a mirror-surface and an image of my father reflected in it. It was pyramid-shaped so again, my supposed past life comes sneaking in!
Intriguing and inspirational.
Thank you, Loren. To inspire inspiration is my goal!
