THE Art Gallery
Dove and I wandered into the McNaughton Fine Art Gallery and walked around. There was a huge painting he had been working on-it was about 6 feet wide and 4 ½ feet tall. It was really huge. He had left his apron hanging on the corner of it. I asked the girl there about how close to being done it was. She said he had worked on it yesterday and that he’d be back on Friday and that it was pretty close to being done. I asked how much it would cost, $80,000. Okay-that just a tiny bit outside of our price range.
The image was awesome. It showed Christ in the center, dressed in robes and a cloak of white. There was a gold tree (branches and trunk-no leaves) on his chest. Behind him were people who had lived. On Christ’s right hand were everyday people, all ages, ethnic backgrounds, the soldier was holding a folded flag (of a comrade or of a family member), one man was holding a Holy Bible; on Christ’s left hand was a Supreme Court Justice in his robes, kneeling and crying in tears-scattered at his feet and at Christ’s feet were several documents titled Roe vs. Wade-and about 5 others-I believe representing Supreme Court decisions against Christian belief and standards. The other people on the left included a man in a business suit staring at a huge stack of money in his hand and a gleeful smile on his face (could have been an Enron person or this new Bernie Madoff in his younger years), a pregnant woman-very pregnant-but that could be depicted that way to make it obvious she was expecting-but if she’s on the left hand of Christ, and standing right next to the Supreme Court Justice-I think it indicates she’s contemplating an abortion, and I didn’t look close at the others there. There was an evil dude-cloaked with his hood up and evil red eyes-I would imagine he represented Satan. He was lurking at the far right edge-kind of behind the evil represented on the left hand of Christ. I really liked the picture.
They scan these pictures and then sell the reproductions, called giclees (pronounced "zhee-clay"). I’m sure that it would not be cheap even for the reproduction-but I’d really like to get one of the reproductions, because there’s no way I can afford the original.
