Celestial Envy

46 x 23 x 3"

Acrylic and Wood on Canvas

$675

The "Ecstasy of Saint Teresa" and its golden rays of light inspired me to create this piece. To envy is to be human, though if cosmic beings are looking down at us, I bet they'd be envious of us just as we are of them. Jealousy is universal. After all, the grass is always greener on the other side.
