Bonded by the Mother of Plenty...

- Bonded by the Mother of Plenty there is enough for everyone
  including yourself -
 
20x20 in. (50.8x50.8 cm)
Mixed media, charcoal and oil on wrapped canvas
 
The apple is rendered in charcoal and hand-drawn, symbolizes the bounty and abundance of nature. It is incorporated into a mixed media background which consists of many layers of diverse media. This is a new way for me to incorporate unstable (soft) materials such as charcoal, into a mixed media work. I am excited about this new process!
In addition to this still life I also offer portraits in this style in my ....section. Take a look!
Softly renered brushstrokes, like ribbons, are gliding through the air, enveloping the apple. Metaphorically and visually this expresses the bond between the Earth and us, her children.
