Oil painting: 'Hey Ron" - Interpretations and critiques appreciated.

Hey Ron
Oil
60"x60"



Reacting to an certain experience, this piece came about. Its meaning is metaphoric but the direct interpretation isn't far from the truths within its depths.

I'm posting this because I'm curious to see if the community here will see what I intended. It would help if you're from the Midwest. Also this may  be better received in the ODD forum...

A human race with more highly developed spiritual capacities, with expanded consciousness of the depth and the incomprehensible wonder of being, would also have greater understanding of and better consideration for the biological and material foundation of life on this earth, Above all, for Western people with their hypertrophied rationality, the development and expansion of a direct, emotional experience of reality, unobstructed by words and concepts, would be of evolutionary significance.

Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined.

To fall in hell or soar angelic,
You need a pinch of psychedelic.

This painting is a metaphor for Heroin. In the Midwest 'packs,' 'packets,' or 'blow packs' are small square pieces of paper folded into containers for the drug.
The title is a reference to my good friend Ron who struggled with the substance but is now in a better way. It also references the typical pronunciation of Heroin in the streets: "Ay want some Heron?"
As previously stated the surface read of perhaps losing at the lottery isn't far from the conceptual subject matter. Some people have a better chance of losing the Heroin lottery. Some are genetically predisposed to becoming addicted to opiates; others are victims of circumstance and are constantly challenged with the abundance of the drug. While others will live their entire lives never seeing it or being affected by it in any way.
Formal aspects of the painting are supposed to mimic the effects of the drug. Most of the composition is blurred and out of focus, the light, warm colors embracing a weightless piece of paper, while a dark overbearing reality looms overhead.

Thanks for looking.
