Here's something a bit different from me called "The Perilous Path To Heaven." An allegory of the temptations that can distract a pilgrim on their journey. Seems fitting with Easter around the corner.

“The bad thing about all religions is that, instead of being able to confess their allegorical nature, they have to conceal it; accordingly, they parade their doctrines in all seriousness as true sensu proprio, and as absurdities form an essential part of these doctrines we have the great mischief of a continual fraud.” ~ Arthur Schopenhauer, “The Christian System”, Parerga and Paralipomena

A #painting by #JulesJosephLefebvre - in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay.
"
she holds her #mirror high above her head facing us, the viewer, shining in its own glowing light. [...] In her left hand she clutches a rope that descends from the darkness, which seems to imply a connection to the #subconscious"

Just realised that last "Truelove" image was a "shonky" low res one, & rather than redoing the who toot, I'll just post it here with some others #UrbanSketching images...
2 - Queen Victoria on her podium above the Victoria Sq. toilets, flanked by #allegorical statues.
3 - A "folly" in Pearson Park (actually the top of another lost building).
4 - Some bloke recording stuff with #sketchbook & #pen, his beard is longer, & waistline wider these days... I perhaps should get out & do more of this.
