Artist's Comments

11 inches X 14 inches, acrylics on Bristol board.

This is an older painting (the date on it says 2005, but I'm pretty sure it's older than that) that I recently found while digging through some old canvases.

For those of you who don't know the desert, it's a beautiful place, but it can kill the unprepared or the unwary in a matter of hours. There is the extreme heat, there are dangerous animals, insects and reptiles and if you die your bones will be picked clean in as little as a week.

The desert IS a mystical place, spend some time alone in it and if you don't die, you'll either go insane or be seen as a prophet.

I can imagine the desert being an amazing place, i would love to visit one someday - even though I hate sand getting into all those annoying places =P

I really like how you painted the hair and skin - they seem to have a nice texture :)

i agree with Jambi and fanfingers your style really does shine in this picture the attention to detail is even great...although the skin seems fresh the eyes and mouth and the expression suggest dehydration at least for me.to add a bit i love the hair too...
i dont know about others but if i were to go to the desert assuming i dont die i wouldnt mind going nuts the delusional visions would be temptingly disastrous to the mind hahahaha

Nice work. I like it how you made the lips, teeth and eyes shine like they are real. :nod:

The desert... I sometimes wish I could go somewhere alone with my thoughts... But maybe I wouldn't survive... :hmm:

As Fang pointed out, great highlights and detail work. It also reminds me of one of the Manson women (Charlie's Angels of death). Which is somewhat ironic to me because last night on my way home NPR did a thing about Leslie VanHouten and how John Waters, of all people was working for her parole.
