Life Force

0.0 x 0.0

Life Force Life Force is a story of the condition of our world twenty-five years ago. From the natural forces of nature with the volcano erupting to man induced pollution ruining our water systems the same issues still command our attention today. This painting was created with exacting detail even before the artist had any formal or technical training. Highly symbolic the butterfly represents personal freedom of spirit. The center or nucleus is the embryo where all unconscious thought begins. Drawing from that inner energy all life and thought forms then develop. The painting shows the progression of man vs. nature as in the scene on the top left with the American Indian and a point of time conjunct with the paddle wheeler slipping away forever and progress pushing all past into the future. The garbage truck collects debris from societies waste dumping it into our food chain, polluting the waters. The rainbow is dark and muddy yet Mother Nature is seen with the nurturing effect of our hopeful young spirits with the baby bald eagle…rare but not yet extinct showing hope for our future. There is a question mark in the top right with powerful orange-red leading into the Saudi Arabian oil crisis even today with gas prices almost $3.00 a gallon…A possible solution comes forth with the solar energy panels. Man again tampering with our delicate balance harpooning and farming our most beautiful creature the whale. A little girl figure symbolizing our own inner child and thought processes is getting ready for that leap of faith into new ideas and realities always ready to forge forward for the betterment of mankind…hopeful in that mother nature will preside as depicted with the hope in the lady bug and the daisy and finally the good outcome with a clear rainbow!
