The Space Between II
48 x 36 acrylic on wood panel
There are three additional painting is this series the other two are 48 x 72 and 30 x 40
We know that nature is an interconnected web of interaction and existence. Magnolias are the matriarchs of the forest. They are the first angiosperms / flowering plants and support myriad species like cardinals, who eat the protein rich seeds and shelter in the strong branches of magnolias. But the connections in life are so much deeper than this.
Physical bodies like trees, birds, humans, and even stones are not solid, but matter suspended in a dynamic and complex energy field. This is not conjecture, this is proven. All things are connected. All things interact. All things are energy.
In this painting I present multiple categories of connection. The magnolia’s strong and glorious boughs and flowers have a symbiotic connection with the cardinals. I also gave the cardinals auras in this painting to suggest their energy field and sentience. The iridescent marbling which reoccurs in my work, represents life force, the living, pulsing energy of life.
