Mandala — 2nd Layer

Lilith Marie's Mandala - 2nd Layer

Acrylic and Oil on Hard­board The sec­ond layer of my first Man­dala with Lilith Marie as the model. I’ve laid in an ultra­ma­rine back­ground and started pulling out some shapes. I’m using figs for my ref­er­ence and am ren­der­ing in those basic col­ors. The rose shap­ing in the mid­dle is from an orange slice, backlit.…

Lilith Marie's Mandala by Daniel Liam Gill

I’ve always wanted to work with Lilith Marie, she has a pres­ence that is time­less and I wanted to incor­po­rate that into my work.

Quiddity

Quiddity, Acrylic and Oil on Hardboard, 24" x 49"

Acrylic and Oil on Hard­board The last in my series with Glass Olive, the larger sizes. I took a break from paint­ing to build a cou­ple of web sites. This one stared at me from my wall for a cou­ple of months. I would stand in front of it and feel like I was tak­ing a jour­ney, rem­i­nis­cent of the Japan­ese tradition…

The Moirae

The Moirae, Acrylic and Oil on Hardboard

Acrylic and Oil on Hard­board I met a young lady who called her­self Delir­ium after the char­ac­ter from Neil Gaiman’s The End­less. We cre­ated a few impres­sions, of which this is the third. It’s named for the Greek inter­pre­ta­tion of the Fates, part of which is para­phrased here: The Moirae were sup­posed to appear three nights after…

Binah

Binah, Acrylic, Oil and Colored Pencil on Wood

Acrylic, Oil and Col­ored Pen­cil on Wood The sec­ond in my col­lab­o­ra­tion with Glass Olive. Like Chorono­zon before it, based on the writ­ings of Aleis­ter Crow­ley. Binah is ‘under­stand­ing’ or ‘con­tem­pla­tion’. It is likened to a ‘palace of mir­rors’ that reflects the pure point of light of Chokhmah, wis­dom, increas­ing and mul­ti­ply­ing it in an infinite…

Refraction

Refraction, Acrylic on Harboard, 24" x 24"

Refrac­tion, Acrylic on Hard­board, 24″ x 24″ Breach­ing the plane and expand­ing on the grid, I stacked Floofie, Delir­ium and Glass Olive into this composition, overlapping one on top of the other.

Choronzon

Choronzon, Oil and Acylic on Wood, 24" x 48"

Acrylic, Oil and Col­ored Pen­cil on Hard­board Glass Olive was the ink and the inspi­ra­tion for this paint­ing of Choron­zon, the Thelemic demon. Work­ing with Olive is such a con­trast from see­ing phở­to­graph of her and her illus­tra­tions. She car­ries her­self with the frag­ile stature and grace of s a silent film star such as Clara Bow or Louise…

Umbilical

Umbilical, Oil and Acrylic on Hardboard, 24" x 49"

Acrylic, Oil and Col­ored Pen­cil on Hard­board Star­ing at this, I’m remind of T.S. Eliots The Waste Land– “APRIL is the cru­ellest month, breed­ing Lilacs out of the dead land, mix­ing Mem­ory and desire, stir­ring Dull roots with spring rain. Win­ter kept us warm, cov­er­ing Earth in for­get­ful snow, feed­ing A lit­tle life with dried…

Delirium Tremens

Delirium Tremens, Oil and Acrylic on Hardboard, 24" x 49"

Acrylic, Oil and Col­ored Pen­cil on Hard­board My sec­ond paint­ing with Delir­ium, named for the DT’s. The fig­ure at the top of the com­po­si­tion shakes like a doll on a spring while the shape at the bot­tom closes on it like some strange ant climb­ing a hill. It’s an odd sort of dance.
