Sleep's Embrace, Fire's Fury

More about Sleep's Embrace, Fire's Fury

An acrylic painting depicts a man sleeping soundly in a bed with white sheets and pillow, wearing a white tank top, oblivious to a raging fire visible through an open doorway behind him. The dark wooden headboard of the bed and a small dark wooden nightstand with a dark glass on it are on the left. The open doorway reveals orange and yellow flames engulfing what appears to be furniture in the adjacent room. On the gray wall to the right of the open doorway, a red alarm clock with white numbers and hands is emitting a beam of white light, seemingly in the direction of the fire, or as if to wake up the man. The room is dimly lit, with the fire providing the only bright illumination. The man’s face is peaceful, contrasting sharply with the destructive scene just feet away.
