That's what this painting is about

The stairway is another method of ascension but also related to Jacob's dream of the angels going up and down the ladder to heaven and to the concept of an Underworld

This painting was exhibited in the Pawtucket Foundation exhibit 2019

Sacred Fire - Surreal Landscape Painting - SOLD white pine tree That's what this painting isA spirit watches over the village, but it's the people who keep the sacred fire burning. There are always some night owls up late, reading, working, painting, playing a quiet violin, making magic, or just listening to the still of the night. The original mixed media surreal landscape painting is 9 x 12" on heavy cotton watercolor paper. It combines watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil, and should be framed behind glass or acrylic.
