But, of course, post burial resurrection has gotta be muddy

Daniel Barkley's "Lazarus"

Big in size (35x50 inches), acrylic on canvas, 2001. Until very recently owned by someone else, who is moving and just doesn't have space for many of his larger works. I can't believe this painting now lives with me and resides right now hung behind my office chair.

It remains in tight running for the best painting Mr. Barkley has done to date, and that's saying a lot as the guy has some talent...

Photographed in a dark room with my computer monitor providing illumination. I cranked the ISO as one is able to do on the D3 and shot it handheld.
