The Dark Messiah

This piece was originally part of the Wizard of Oz series that I had undertaken to do with Grant. This was to be the Tin Man and it focused on the menacing aspect of the mechanical eyes staring out at the viewer. I flecked it rust and weeping oil, cold and immortal. Unfortunately, it is very small. I think that this same piece several times larger would be ideal. Still, overall, I am very happy with it and I often find myself dreamily staring into it. It is a pity that, despite many attempts, I couldn't get the photographs to carry the darks and highlights quite as well. This is one of those paintings you have to see first hand. The photograph just doesn't do it justice.
