First off, sorry, this photo needs to be edited. It is actually in a diamond shape orientation when it is displayed correctly I plan on fixing this tonight. This is another painting I did of a Julio Cortazar story. In La Noche Boca Arriba (The Night Face Up) a man has a motorcycle accident and is taken to the hospital. As he begins to slip in and out of consciousness he begins to dream that he is being hunted by the Aztecs who have turned his tribe into sacrifices to the gods. He becomes more an more aware that this dream might actually be reality. When he is conscious in the hospital he tries desperately one more time to stay awake and avoid his fate by reaching for his water glass next to his bed but his hand falls limp and he meets his fate. Throughout the whole story and even after it has ended I never decided which one was the real life of the main character, although I do hope he wasn't sacrificed! There is a second one (depicting the alternate reality) of this one to come this week!!
