King Midas in His Garden

King Midas in His Garden
watercolor with goldleaf
36” x 24“

I find the myth of King Midas and his golden wish contains a few modern parallels. The bird appears to have it all, yet he still feels his life lacks luster.

Ultimately he migrates swiftly from euphoria to despair. And back again.

Beware of the man with the Midas touch.
