Collative Learning

I painted this surreal sci-fi / fantasy picture on canvas with acrylics for my girlfriend. This video shows the various stages of creating the piece from blank canvas to finished artwork. It took quite a while to do as I've only painted one other picture in the last fifteeen years. However, I think it's the best picture I've ever done. I also made the accompanying music a few years back on Music 2000 of all things, lol.

While writing an article about The Shining I found a bizarre detail in the river of blood. I've reached my conclusion about it, but have tried to present multiple interpretations in this video so you can draw your own conclusions. Stanley Kubrick was a master of subliminal encoding and, as always, he's crammed enough detail into this one shot to justify a video analysis in itself.
