July-August, 1975; Egg Tempera on Masonite Panel; 14 x 20"

This was a strange marriage of my interest in Andrew Wyeth's and Robert Vickery's tempera painting techniques with my fascination with the late 19th Century Symbolist and Decadent movements in European art. The painting was sold to a private collector in Hyde Park, NY.

The title is actually a quote (that I do not have permission to quote here) from a song called "Starless" from a great album called "Red" by King Crimson - Fripp, Wetton, Bruford, Cross, even a bit of McDonald on alto sax.
