Devil On Her Shoulder...(c) 2002 Elton Houck, 8.75" X 10.5" painted on a yellow page from the telephone book with, pins, colored pencils, crepas, china marker, pastels, fixative,
VERY very interesting work..the lady looks sad and yet she looks as if the devil also has some kind of control. And indeed its a realistic part where the devil tempts us to do a lot of wrong things.. but you done great work here too...
Artist Reply: Thank you Homayra...you are correct....Temptation can only cause sin and sin unrepented leads to destruction and the second death, the death of the spirit, where one is lost in a web of lies that the devil spins like a spider's web to trap you in and leave you with a sense of hopelessness. He would try to convince one that God could not help and that God could not forgive you...this is the great lie.
Inventive and imaginitive work!!! Feels like you really enjoy your art!!
Artist Reply: Thank you Deborah! Yes, I enjoy the challenge and exploration. I appreciate your viewing my work and your kind words.
All my best to you
CHEERZ & NOEL!
