"Night Comes For Us All"
Acrylic/Canvas
16" x 12"
Some years ago I was in Egypt and visited the Valley of the Kings where many of the ancient rulers were buried. Painted on the walls of their tombs were these snaking images of Nut, the goddess of the sky. It seemed like the belief was that she helped keep the spirit safe as it was shepherded off into death. That image stayed with me for a long time - the snaking body of a dark night sky filled with stars... Night... it comes for us all.
