Welcome
This blog records the development of a single oil painting titled, "The Irreverent Rapture." -- It is a large painting - 44" x 72" - depicting what the "church age" Christian event known as the Rapture might look like... but in a "bizzaro" world, i.e. a world where everything is the opposite of what might be expected... the pious remain earthbound and the irreverent ascend.
It is a bit of satire; a composition to paint with a bunch of visual stuff - shapes, foreground, midground, background, etc.
"Societies need to come undone. How exciting when the first shirt button pops!" -Paul Gachot: gazpachot.blogspot.com. Big thanks to Paul who has made cogent suggestions and edited some of my rambling writing.
This is the first of a number of large oil paintings I intend to produce.

Below is a grayscale rough for the painting's composition.

Reminds me a little bit of Harvey Darger. Probably from the mix ofthe childish feeling of the style and the seriousness of the subject.
Thanks for the comment Manuel. Did you mean Henry Darger? Either way, I had not heard of him before and greatly appreciate you introduction to his life and work. Quite extraordinary... if you meant Henry Darger. Couldn't find much on a Harvey Darger...
Great art work! Thanks for sharing this! Colorful indeed!...Daniel
