This painting has special significance for me. Some of you know I like to make certain paintings from historical moments that have touched me deeply. Though the context behind the painting is definitely not immediate or obvious. For this painting, the context began months before as the Iceland volcano had been erupting for months, I had tuned into the daily video feed on youtube and enjoyed seeing it flow as the days grew. Naturally the colors of seeing the mounds of molten earth got into me and as it came time to create this painting, I knew the colors I chose immediately.
I have made a few paintings in my past that reference moments that had special significance to me, and along the way I shall be doing more as I grow and learn to discover more of my past and how I choose to memorialize it.
Have a wonderful week.
