Purgatory
(6.5" x 13", oil on canvas, Jan. 1998)

I don't remember why I called this "Purgatory." I view the two figures as a couple, male and female, fighting against some kind of storm surge or high wind. Perhaps I think of that now because I am writing this description in Sept. 2005, a week after Hurricane Katrina destroyed the Gulf Coast.
