Portholes to my Youth moment creating the origins of life

creating the origins of life on this planet

These "arch" paintings (four individual collage artworks) are displayed together as a single painting

This grouping becomes even more powerful when hung together

so they don't eat them either

the apple core looks like a star

Portholes to my Youth moment creating the origins of lifeMixed media (acrylic, paper, and ink) 20" x 16" on paper This painting captures the autumn of my childhood. Memories of cooler temperatures, changing colors, and shortening days all rush back to me. There's a nostalgia for those foggy beach days with crisp winds and washed up seaweeda pang of sadness for the dropping leaves and impending winter weather. These circles are portholes to my youth and bittersweet remembrances of those long ago autumn days.
