Jupiter.

68x48 inches.
Acrylic painting and clothing on board.

Some have described Ashton's work as 'conceptual' possibly because there are layers of meaning to be discovered in much of his work. It bears close scrutiny and long contemplation.

Jupiter rules Sagittarius, the archer whose weapon is an arrow. the greek god zeus conquered the titans using wind and storms, but later became sunny and beneficient. The bringer of jollity and altruism.
