Artist's Comments

Sing a hymn to the god of the machine
A pumping, thumping rhythm
Keep the wheels in motion
Keep the engines turning

Gasoline will quench our thirst
oil will help us swallow
Revel in our ingenuity
forget about tomorrow

We'll Feed the future of our dreams
We'll suckle it on gasoline

Now is what's important
we may not see tomorrow

So hum the march of progress
step in time. stay in line.
don't lead...
...just follow

Fumes of dying dreams
feed the flames
that will cleanse the world tomorrow

Praise our ingenuity
all the while, never a care,
never a worry,
never a thought

for those who will live...
..to see tomorrow...

Oh wow. Quite the idea you have, you have painted it wonderfully as well. Very nice work. The lighting is done very well and it is really... composed nicely. Nicely balanced.

Interesting concept. You're a very talented painter too. Excellent flesh tones and wrinkles in the sheets and diaper.
I've never worked with oils, but the more and more I look at them the more I want to try them.

Thanks for sharing!
