This painting is extraordinary and the artist notes that this is an old tool that depended on the stars and was used like a compass. One of the remarkable things about this is the careful use of various shades of brown and gold in the compass. It really makes the shape come out and you really get the feel that the compass is actually real. Detail work like this can take a lot of time to do but can often be worth the effort as in this work. It evokes a real sense of surrealism.
