Clara and the Devil

24″ x 30″ Oil on canvas

(updated 03/24/2006) Submitted for I-FRI’s theme monster.

I’ve been working on this for a long time, still needs to be touched up but I’m going to take a break and work on something else.

Clara is smart, intelligent, hardworking, honest, and all the positive traits that one could have; but she is miserable somehow because there is this devil that makes all these nothing… They claim she is free and yet she feels controlled. If Clara is a place… it is a place where something evil – power, money, status quo rules the land.

    This is so compelling in its colors and the helpless look of Clara in the grip of the blue devil. Your commentary makes it even more powerful.
