This Mardi Gras themed figure painting takes a dive into embracing the inevitable. The subject in the image chooses to ignore the long night that awaits at the Zulu Ball and embrace the moment in front of her. Mike Weary uses the king cake pallette as a metaphor for cognitive dissonance. 

32x42in oil on wood panel. Antique framing, made by Mike Weary, is included with purchase of painting.
