Painting #13 is titled “Dwell no more” and is part of an ongoing series I’m painting called “The Retaliation of Mother Nature”. 8″x8″mixed media
I’m still exploring my environmental paintings and here is the latest finished piece. I’ll wait until they are all finished before I offer them for sale. “Dwell no more” is a painting of house hanging onto a cliff after partly falling into the river that runs below it.
Below is the explanation of the series:
A piece from the series “The Retaliation of Mother Nature” where humankind no longer able to coexist in harmony becomes extinct after polluting the planet and allowing chemicals to pour into the rivers and oceans killing off all the sustainable natural resources. Able to revive herself after a short period of time without human contamination, vegetation begins to flourish while the remnants of people and their structures begin to fall into ruin.
I have a total of five paintings so far in the series, but haven’t finished them all yet. Here are links to the other paintings in the series that are finished:
- Return to Avalon
- Reconcile – this post has the story behind why I am drawn to paint this series
That house is in a difficult position! It’s a good idea to put wips in your blog. Really interesting.
Yes it is! Thank you for commenting.
You know what – I keep saying, the way we are headed this probably isn’t to far (in the big scheme of things) in the future. It’s quite poignant too as where I live quite a few houses have disappeared into the sea over the years. Loving this series Jaime.
Thank you so much Carmen. I appreciate your encouraging words. It is scary to think when our children are our ages, what state will the world be in?
