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.
