Soaking up this beautiful weather, communing with nature, chatting with friends, loving family, laughing, being shamelessly silly and truly understanding how life is so precious, always puts me in a pondering mode.
(Work In Progress- April 25, 2011-SEE COMPLETED PAINTING BELOW)
I’m currently pondering on…
Creating starts with shadows, some darker than others, with more and more substance added and once the shadows have become a thing of substance, color invades it from all angles.
Like our earth.
Maybe that’s really the big bang theory, or is it what God created from the shadows, what is now our earth; no matter what you believe, something started it off.
Is that what it will take to save the earth from the onslaught of humankind’s continual draining of her resources? An intervention is inevitable. She is a shadow of her former self…Save her…save us.
(COMPLETED WORK)
“Saving Me, Saves Us“
(24″ x 18″ – Mixed Media/Paper)
Enjoy what has been given freely…the earth.
Peace to you and yours.

This is beautiful Indigene. I was talking the other day about how mad Mother earth is right now. I think her unhappiness comes through in those raging storms, tonadoes and tsunamis. If only more people would give back to her unconditionally.♥

I agree. This is a fitting image to express this imbalance, and a wonderful interpretation and context of shadow. Thanks for the thoughtful post and message.

Interesting thought. THis is a beautiful piece. I love the colors, and the density of it.

I love the idea of Mother Nature hugging the earth and your illustration as well Indigene! Just think about how many species have become extinct since the Industrial Revolution. Humankind continues to deplete its only home! When will people understand and come to terms with this? I won't get started … Thanks for visiting my art blog and for your kind comments, Kerry.
