"Keeper of the Cosmic Gate"
oil on canvas - 46 x 56 inches
fantasy surreal

This painting is the third of the Gate keepers. The cosmic gate, where all knowledge of creation is kept. The dolphins hold the ancient information of our planet.
Technical info: All the writing(language that developed through the series) in the book of knowledge is written in liquid gold and the triangular open box (atop of rocks on the right) is painted in liquid silver. This was the first time I used actual metallic minerals in a painting. In the proper lighting, they reflect amazing light.
