The Blue Lip Rising
aka Vozneseniye Sinegubogo Gamadrila, for those of you who can read Russian. 19" x 26", oil on canvas. In a bizarre combination, this painting was inspired by some of the flat-colored yet amazingly expressive canvases by Joan Miro and a certain politically incorrect poem most of you Russian speakers must have recently seen on the internet. Started in the heat of the last presidential campaign and completed in early summer of 2009, this painting remains my last finished work to date, before I went to write my first novel (and then the second one, nonstop) To quote incomparable Forrest Gump, "and that's all I have to say about that."
