A little Easter egg, for anyone who might have interest.… that is an oil painting Disenfranchized by ArsTruly 24" x 32" the second image is a Photoshop alteration to show you that it is actually a very dingy-styled American flag, hence the spelling with a Z for the Americanization of the English— most folks familiar with ole ArsMotormouth wouldn't conceive of it, but I rather enjoy subtleties and layered meanings. Gallery-wrapped (framed-in, painter speak). 🍻

Disenfranchized. In Actualis. Photo from a museum exhibition ca. 2016-17.

(noticed it is almost a fathomless depth of blackness, yet quite warm. There's an old expression—especially in oil painting, which goes something like "even the slightest drop of red will take over a canvas,"—no matter the scale. I mix my own black, and I use the hell out of Alizarin Crimson (when appropriate).
