Acrylic on CanvasHere is a large painting Bob did as part of a series of paintings based on the Authurian Legend (the ancient name Arthur is a form of "artos"= bear). This particular painting is hanging in Susan Wickersham's office at Alembic. Bob painted the picture over the course of three or four weekends in 1965, and took acid before beginning each session. This was the legend of the Red Dragon and the White Dragon fighting in a subterranean lake. It was the vibrations of the magical struggle which was the cause of difficulties in constructing a tower on the spot. Merlin was called in and determined the cause of the problem. (text by The Bear)
