End of a Decade:
Father Time Overcome by Love, Hope and Beauty, after Simon Vouet. monotype, 12 ” x 12″
The first decade of the century is done, and I’m Overcome by Love, Hope and Beauty. Well, that would be a change of pace anyway. I’m deep down a sentimental romantic but I’m not looking back. Here’s a monotype based on a painting by Simon Vouet of Old Father Time himself, or Saturn as some would call him, having his self-deluding ass kicked by the symbols of power, yes, women.
A couple of more monotypes after the jump.
Wet Day, monotype, 10″ x 10″
At Window, monotype, 12″ x 12″

These are all beautiful–all glowy and sensual. Can you guess which one’s my favorite? I’ll give you three tries, the first two don’t count. I suddenly feel overcome by my own predictability. Merry newness and may the love, hope and beauty continue to keep you facing forward!
