fun with faces

This 16 x 20 unframed acrylic on canvas was inspired by the many tales of the jealous love affair between the sun and moon. In some myths the male sun simply chases the female moon across the sky endlessly spurned. In others the earth is also involved as the male the moon prefers and the jealous sun is trying to chase the moon away from the earth. Tales of this sort are found around the globe in many cultures and I think that is what I most like about them.
