"Messages from Babylon"....18" x 24" Oil on Gallery Canvas: I've had this image rattling around in my cranium since I was about 11 or 12 years old; a skull on a video screen. I'm 53 now, so I've had this idea for a little while. As a child, I knew I didn't want the video screen to be a regular TV, but something more. It wasn't until I was 16 that I learned about oscilloscopes, how they work and how to use them. Although in subsequent years I considered other forms of test... instrumentation such as a spectrum analyzer or vector network analyzer, I finally reverted back to the first choice I made in my teen years. The oscilloscope was extremely time consuming to paint but not too difficult to render, since I'm a collector of antiques and other odd items. I pulled out my Tektronix 2465 4-channel oscilloscope and placed it next to my easel to paint as a "still life", but I completely changed the lighting and, hence, the colour scheme in the process. I was under bright, white lighting while painting this, but rendered it under dim red and green lighting you might find in some sort of control room. The equalizer was completely made up and freehand; no references were used. However, I do have several equalizers in my collection of stuff too. Due to the highly conceptual nature of this piece, the price will be set somewhat higher than I typically charge for a painting this size at $950. See more

I re-joined the "Luxembourg Art Prize" contest for 2021. I spent a bit of time editing and deleting old art submissions; have more to add and others to delete or edit yet. Stay tuned for "Messages from Babylon"; an artwork quite different from anything I've painted so far.It will also be submitted to the contest once completed. https://www.luxembourgartprize.com/en/
