Baptism by Romare Bearden

This piece is by Romare Bearden, and is called "Baptism". This piece was done in 1964. I chose this one because I found the setting the scenery in the background so beautiful. This scene makes me feel very peaceful.

I also noticed the scribbled letters on top of the skull that seems as if they are crossed out and covered with paint making what he wrote illegible.
