The Sixth Painting of Jie Xia

Acrylic, 16X20 (on a much painted over canvas).

I wasn't initially sure about including this in the Jie series, but as I have lived with it for around ten months it seems to fit. I dislike the gratuitous use of skeletons, skulls, and the like (only in Epilepitica One have I deemed it fitting, by whatever internal and infernal criteria that clomps around within my psyche), and I was concerned that I found myself including one here, but certain world events following it's completion gave it an almost prophetic appropriateness.

Thanks for looking
