IF - unbalance

"The truth is balance. However the opposite of truth, which is unbalance,
may not be a lie."

I don't know what I want to comment on more--the really really great quote, or the beautiful beautiful picture. I guess both. The quote makes me think about the complexity of life, and how there are no simple truths. The picture is just so rich.

Thank you so much Coreopsis. I appreciate your heartfelt comment. I can';t take credit for even thinking about the quote..I got it from "Illustration Friday." But trhe picture is definitely mine from a series of paintings I ddi on clowns. I recycled this one for this quote...felt it was appropriate. I also have another idea for a similar image that is less dark.
