Congealings
A new series inspired by extreme close-ups
of congealed wax textures
caused by dousing a burning candle
at the mystic End of the Sabbath
signifying the "havdala", or separation,
from the holy and the secular,
I originally thought to call these creations Angels,
but as the canvas began to be populated
of gargoyles and even ghoulish denizens,
many of whom I would be afraid to meet
I decided that the relatively neutral term Congealings
would be more appropriate.
Most of the paintings can be turned or hung
sideways and upside down
to reveal amazing new faces!
An added perk would be to view the paintings
with 3-D AVATAR GLASSES to get
incredible depth effects!

A sardonic view of Isaiah's messianic 11:6 prophecy: "A wolf and a lamb will live (peaceably) together",
referring to Israel's (the lamb) future relation to its enemies, who will be around but won't
(be able to) harm. The problem now is that the "wolf" in the painting has not yet read Isaiah.
Oops! Poor Dumb Lamb!
