Sinister Spirit, James Rich, acrylic
This is a painting by James Rich, who also happens to be my husband. It's always reminded me of the BVM, in fact, that's what I call it. Interesting that when he painted the painting, he gave it the title "Sinister Spirit." But for me, it always had a decidedly BVM vibe. More of Jim's work on Alien Art Genre, and James Rich Studio.
Cool. At first, Bhudda-ish, then slightly threatening, settling on a lopsided, bemused, amusing image. I liked the folded arms/snakes. Nice touch.
