Art and the Human Behavior

Human Behavior is influenced by culture, attitudes, emotions, values, ethics, authority, persuasion, coercion, and genetics. Many neopagans hold a monthly ritual called an Esbat at each full moon, but some traditional Chinese religions prepare their ritual offerings to ancestors and deities on every full and new moon. This painting is from the Ghost Ship Series: Full Moon Rising. As you see in this picture it is getting close to a full moon and the ship appears to be rising out of the dark ocean waters. The ship is representing the different human cultures that are getting closer to their religious rituals as the moon rises..
