I’m a huge fan of Jack Vettriano. I came across this painting and just wanted to see what you guys think it shows.
What does this painting say to you?

Males beware! Women will suck the life blood out of you.

She has bitten out and probably eaten his tongue. Vettriano does some nice stuff, but this is his sick shit.

That not every artist can be Francis Bacon, H.R. Geiger or Robert Williams.

Having botched the CPR of her husband by using elbow drops and biting, Phyllis wards off invisible zombies with her imaginary shotgun.

It says to me that life occasionally deals you a shit sandwich. He got all dressed up in anticipation of some time with a beautiful woman and it turned out badly. He was expecting good things and instead he got hosed.

It is definitely a vampire painting . Look at the full moon for starters.

What the painting says to me, as you ask, not that it is what the painting actually says, is that women are bloodsucking b*****s. That she:

• Bit out his tongue and lips before she strangled him, or,
• He was poisoned and when he fell out and she tried to revive him, he threw up blood in her mouth and she is panicking to find the toilet, which she is not sure where it is because she is in his house.
• She just tried to bit out his tongue and lips after strangling him and his girlfriend just came through the door with the key she has to his place and is about to be attack.
• Women are cannibals that will eat you alive of you don’t watch out.

If this image is indeed a painting, the work is technically VERY good. Since blood is apparently issuing from the mouths of both people, my guess is that the woman has just stood erect after trying mouth to mouth resuscitation on a man hemorrhaging internally (probably in his lungs).

@stanleybmanly You’re right, she has no vampire fangs and he isn’t bleeding from the neck. Hmmm, have to rethink this. But why are his clothes askew?

This is a painting of a person who desperately needs to re-take the CPR course. Now the paramedics are at the door and she just realized she left her certification in her other purse.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

Why is the blood coming from the mouths in copious amounts? Vampires don’t waste that much.

This couple tried to do that spaghetti sucking kiss from Lady and the Tramp, but there was too much sauce, and the guy sucked so hard it choked him and he died.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@Ayesha Is there a title to the painting?

majorrich's avatar

Shit! I first thought you were kidding! LoL!
