God Horse


Ah this one is worth a deep sip of cheap red home made. The God Horse - notice how the ethereal animal does not so much touch the mountain pasture as float above.
in fact our equine floats in front of the entire world. Its as if the horse is in a different plain of existence and it surely is.
This explains the strange proportions of the torso compared to the head, and the much to short forelegs as if ones vision into the horses plain of existence were distorted by mortal eyes trying to conceive equine purity.

One could go on but why belabor the point? A great work of art, a classic and one of my favorites! I think I had to cough up $4 for this incredible!

Someone was either doing to much acid or not enough when this fish was painted - guess if your water looked like this you'd be trying to jump out too. I love this painting and it clashes so well with the wall.

My R.W. Reich

Where else but Oak Ridge, TN could one expect to find a masterpiece such as this (below) in a thrift store. Can you believe this was literally given to me with the purchase of another painting? I am absolutely in love with this work - from the exploded tree, intensely bright colors, to the light and shadows coming from at least five different directions.

You can find errors of perspective, light, composition, and color that range from the subtle to the outrageous.

One can spend hours lost in the wrongness of this masterpiece.

Of course the mystery attached to the signature enhances the ambiance - can this be Wilhelm Reich of Orgon Energy fame? He who warned us of Deadly Orgon Energy Rays? Protector of the Earth and patron saint to the free love movement of the sixties. The Wilhelm Reich snuffed out of existence buy a wantonly cruel and capricious government?

I make no judgments I only bask in the obvious brilliance, whoever this W.R. Reich may be.

Take a good deep sip of wine click on the image and contemplate.

A bizare work of art signed R.W. Reich. Can this be Wilhelm Reich discoverer of Orgon Energy!? The painting is surely twisted enough to have been created by the genius of Reich. Everything in this peice is wrong. From the subtle to the gross. I just cannot believe that so much wrongness could be by accident - it has to be on purpose!
