Oil on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

This highly symbolic work endeavours to capture the drama of when two opposing worlds join with one another and the dysfunction that often ensues.

Whether it be opposing political parties, governments, countries, families, lovers - its an arena that has often been represented in so many songs, poems, films and literature throughout the ages.

For example, Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" - Two people from two different backgrounds fall in love and the conflicting family feuds ensue.

Painted in oils, this surrealist, romantic work creates two distinct environments coming together and slowly enveloping each other.

The peony a representation of love, romance and loyalty - the delicate fleshy petals softening, taming the harsh landscape it now inhabits.
