Description
Not pretty, I know - wasn't meant to be. Even the greatest painter who ever lived with all the colors available, couldn't make this a pretty subject. It's just a grim reminder of one of the thousands of atrocities that's taken place in our world.
Museo de La Inquicision (Museum of the Spanish Inquisition) in Lima, Peru

Well, the scene certainly is thought provoking.
Marsha Elliott replied:
This was a scene from a museum in Lima Peru as part of the Spanish Inquisition. Such a somber place.

I am so sorry this has earned an appearance as subject matter. I think there are many animals that would do a better job than we are. But, given that, you did an excellent job here. The colors and the composition are excellent.
Marsha Elliott replied:
It's a rather strange subject to paint....especially for me, but some events should never be forgotten. Thank you for commenting.

I think you should enter this in competition. This is awesome on so many levels Marsha. First of all the warm and cool color contrast bring life to a very dead subject matter and make me think of the bones as very flesh and blood at one time. I see the souls because of the color you used. As well, the light source is consistent. The middle ground with dark shadowy bone is beautifully subtle. I would normally not be attracted to such a piece but this one is hauntingly beautiful. I really think you need to look for competitions outside of FAA to compete with this one.
