Picture of the Day for February 8, 2021. This is the second of two Brian Kershisinik’s pieces I picked up at an art gallery moving sale. It’s a subversive take on a traditional artistic image of St. George slaying a dragon while rescuing a helpless maiden. In this painting, it is the woman saving the naked man. I had seen another version of this painting that Kershisinik had done where the woman was slaying an alligator. It was so quirky that I fell in love with it immediately. I would have purchased it in the spot, but it had already been sold. I prefer the alligator, but I was delighted that the dragon version was available so I purchased it on the spot.
