Description
Dolor Deis means "The sorrow of God" in Latin. I had a much longer name translated, but I can't remember how to put it. Essentially it should read "the sorrow of God is great for me, his wandering son" in latin. This is oil on canvas. That's an understatement. It's LOTS and LOTS of oil on canvas. I used a whole bottle of sun thickened linseed oil and half a bottle of stand oil and it took three months to dry completely. It was a pain in the ass trying to keep dust off of it when it was wet. Okay, so I categorized this as an abstract, but it's really just a close up of an older man's eye. I've interpreted the image quite a bit since it was a photo, yes, but it's still a person and should technically be labeled as such, but I'm feeling awkward. Enjoy.
