"Judgment Before the Dark Court"

There are mysteries waiting to be discovered, here in the chambers of The Dark Court, moldering books to be opened and read, visual puzzles to be solved. You may never unearth them all, nor divine all of their hidden meanings, but they will forever intrigue your eye, entice your mind, beckon you into to the secret world of The Dark Court.

Judgment Before The Dark Court is my most complex painting to date, both in concept and execution. It occupied my thoughts -- and my brush -- for many months. As the painting developed, strange and wondrous creatures inhabited its corners and crept into its crannies.

Take your time. Look around. I've buried a host of secrets in this painting, and you will spend many hours searching out the many subtle meanings in its symbolism.

Of the books on the shelves, over fifty have titles -- real, imaginary, fearsome, funny, fantastic, funereal, far-fetched -- nearly all of them suggested by Friends Of The Haunted Studio. All are entirely readable in Large Format and Medium Format size.

Please note that the image above is shown with a black border. This is not part of the print image. I suggest that for the very best look, a single charcoal-black mat be used when framing this print, leaving a small margin of the background white of the print exposed.

Judgment Before The Dark Court is not recommended as a Small Format print, but you may have it if you want it.
