The Parable of the Garter and The Anvil, 2010
OIL original on panel

New Brow

This composite female is falling towards the earth on an anvil and her fate appears to be doomed. She is a combination of three source images: Memling's depiction of the damned, Foulcault's madonna, and her lower torso is from a pin-up. This painting suggest that a woman who uses her physical attractiveness to the allure of the opposite sex, may have power but it is not without its consequences. The title is purloined from a mis-quotation I found in my grand-father's belongs after his death. "Everyday I do the best that I can, I intend to keep right on doing this until the end. In the end if things come out all right, what people have said against me will make no difference. In the end if things come out all wrong, twelve angels swearing I was right would make no difference." The original quote us by Abraham Lincoln and only had ten angels swearing.-CAB
