A good looking drawing here,Raoul!
Yeah,I can dig the 'keys'/'choice' idea behind it that you mention in the well-written notes that accompany the piece however I'm especially enjoying the vibe that tells me that the 'god & goddess' in the picture are about to engage in another heated episode of the lustful ( and oftentimes bloody! ) 'bone dance' that humankind ( the frequently unwitting bodies and spirits that make up such notions as war and peace ) have been rigorously engaged in since our species came down out of the trees,formed packs
( 'nations' ),and started taking our superstitions way too seriously!
It's just 'the nature of the beast',I guess! : D
Good Show,my friend!

An interesting initial impact. Harmonious colors.
Fine attention to details, features & textures.
3-dimensional rendition with effective use of highlights & shadows!
Is this just a detail of a bigger image?
The framing made me think so...
An impressive artwork rendition. Colorful creation with excellent strokes. Good compositional style. Great overall impact! Thanks for sharing...

    Thanks Dick, No, this is the whole image and the frame has actually been sketched (just in case this is what you were inquiring after). It's a trompe l'oeil painting :) R

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


Outstanding presentation, soul touching, spiritual, historical human creation all in one - excellent message coming along with your poem is fantastic in content and like a call out into the world to resonate with peace

your drawing strikes at the first sight as your have chosen to create a window of time and that is so powerful as

what was then, still is today
we still have not found another way,
now is the time to turn direction ,
to find inner peace and deeper reflection,
we are creators of all harm
we have to shift from cold to warm
your drawing shows the golden Key
to live in love and to be free

Well sorry I am also a writer and that just came out as answer
excellent composition, super use of space , your story in this image hold all details of what earth is experiencing right now, well done,thanks for sharing

    Thanks Regina. I very much appreciate the review and your kind words. Your poem is excellent too. Are you on FanStory as well? You should post this on there, if you aren't :) R
reply by Regina E.H-Ariel on 26-Nov-2015
    You are most welcome - yes I am on Fan Story too but I entered only because some people have chosen my work as cover - I normally do not write on that medium as they do not allow to publish it somewhere else and I could get in conflict - otherwise I would - this one I could as it was an answer on yours loll
