How Much Does A Dollar Cost

In this painting the burning money represents economic greed and delusion being the cause of destruction. The idea was formed almost half a year before the crisis took place in Ukraine. The Model is Ukrainian and we discussed the delights of her culture, (as I am a descendant of Ukrainian heritage through my great grandparents) only months before the devastation took place. The money represents greed/delusion and the flame represents destruction which is caused by a series of conditions and decisions made by people and the environment. The main condition which causes unnecessary destruction, is excessive greed and delusion.
All my paintings are painted on from a blank canvas. I never paint over top of a photograph.
