"Gnomon"

This painting has been in the works for several years, I honestly don't remember when it started. It remained almost completely finished for years as well. I had an idea for the next on the scroll but it proved too ambitious, and sometimes it's more important to finish what you start than to make it perfect. This painting is such a case; and the more I look at it the more flaws I see. It's not perfect but I think as an idea it's pretty good. The scroll instead of an extensive list was given a single word.
