…into the very heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me…
…the waters closed in over me; the deep surrounded me…
…I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever…

The nearly completed under-painting of Walking Man and Jonah.
Jonah and the Gourd Vine
Posted on March 31, 2010
A painting of Jonah and the Gourd Vine, from 1999, painted on a mdf panel with mahogany veneer. Done while I was still in school, I had previously omitted it from the archives on this blog. It is in the same line of the paintings I am now doing- and have been doing since around 1999, so it now seems appropriate to add this and a few others from the last few semesters of my schooling to the paintings archive page.

In-progress graphite under-drawing on a poplar wood panel of Walking Man over a subterranean ocean with Jonah and the Sea-monster. This will be painted in oils.
