CONTEMPORARY FIGURATIVE PAINTINGS by
RICHARD BAXTER
This painting deals with the unknown, and how when things are unknown,
we tend to search out the negative possibilities inherent in any outcomes so
that we may deal effectively with any problems arising in the future.
Most creatures do it. (fear)
In this pic, there is a shadowy unknown figure, could be a good guy, could
be a bad guy, and the window next to him is in darkness. Could lead to good
things, could be dark things. But because both are unknown outcomes, we err
on the side of caution, and experience fear to guard against future pain.
