Last Call for Alcohol

More deaths, calamities and tragedies have occurred surreptitiously throughout the centuries because of alcohol. It's stealth is renowned. Those who are afflicted are the last to know, such is it's cunning and baffling power. In moderation it is a gift from the gods but it's excesses have caused kings and kingdoms to disappear. It's reach has stretched the millenia from the beginnings of time to the present day. It knows no bounds and cares less for whom it destroys. It is one of the modern day four horsemen of the apocalypse. It's allies include drugs, greed and war. In moderation it is a welcomed spirit but in gluttonous appetite it finds a safe harbor from which to launch untold armada's of miseries for millions. visionary imagist "Joey"

I have a few loved ones who have this affliction (and know that I'm not even barely immune to it, as it will always follow me, waiting for my strength to ebb) So, I really feel this painting's message. This piece is...wow! I also like that you didn't put a face on the person because as one looks into this scene they can visualize their own loved one lying there powerless and its a lot more personal then. I love the corrupt, toxic color on the wings and that the skull seems to smile. One last thing, very good perspective and depth in the painting.
