The Wedding. Oil on canvas 20"x20"
This is an older painting of mine. I am posting it per request of my art patron and friend Mr.R. Thibodeaux. He is a well known and established art collector/dealer, and currently "The Wedding" is housed at his private art collection. This particular painting is one of the earliest from the series named "Teddies, Sleeping Butterflies, Swamp Creatures and Other Mysterious Life Stories". The series is on-going and ever evolving. I will post more soon. There are many strange Teddies, the holders of ancient wisdom, that come from various Swamps, from the lands far and near, and they all have unique stories to tell: some happy, some sad, some educational, some meaningless, some insightful, some honest, some fabricated, some wise, some funny, some simple to the point of being mystical...
This is the most-commented upon work in my collection and my personal favorite. It's at once humorous and magical, with a slightly, shall I say?, perverse undertone. This is a wonderful web reproduction, but it still does not do justice to the intricate patterns and texture.
