Cross-section of the Universe

First of all, this painting was done in oil on canvas, a canvas that I stretched and accidentally had an 18" on one side and a 20" on the other. But it ended up working well with upward motion of the piece and its meaning.
This is a cynical piece, showing a cross-section through Hell, the earth, space and Heaven. The condemned in Hell, the wandering spirits of the dead and the mortals on earth reach up in pain and longing, but they can never reach Heaven. The angels look down upon all, gloating in their almost vulgar perfection.
