Alas, the photograph doesn't capture the far right edge, but in addition to Sirius (the star from which the prism-bound beam of light originates) there's a sleepy Man-on-the-Moon in the upper corner to complement Mr. Sunshine at far left. The beam of starlight passes through a heart shaped hole in the pinnacle, then between Mars and Venus, and is then scattered a' la Pink Floyd / Dark Side of the Moon by a prism in the hand of an old wizard—but is it Gandalf or is it Saruman? The artist has never told, so to be safe it's best to keep a close watch on your beer!
Next, a sort of creation-myth mural from the door on the east wall of the Grants Pass Museum of Art, opening into the UU Community Room, which is also a regular hot spot on the Grants Pass First Friday Art Night itinerary. It has various heavenly bodies dancing and cavorting above and about in the light of a Lotus Moon. Meanwhile, slimier reptilian things evolve from the deep. The Earth, according to one old Hindu legend, is supported on the back of a giant tortoise, and cradled within its crescent I've rendered the Archetypal Garden of Earthly Delights. But there's no serpent in this paradise; not even worms in the apples! This, incidentally, is the original Grants Pass Painted Door, and but one of many times my work has had an avalanche effect on the local arts scene.
