Happy Earth Day - My Painting of Mother Earth

She was a delicate mix of abundance and destruction.
A force of nature.
She gently massaged the inner crevices of your heart,
yet dug her fingernails into every pore of your skin…
until you bled.

Mother Earth is gentle.
She is kind.
Luminous and dark.
Growing and sinking.
All at once.

I don’t know about you, but this Earth Day hits me a bit differently now.
I feel that our Earth is growing and thriving,
while we are being suffocated,
being swallowed into her depths.
It is strangely comforting to look at it this way.

I’ve never heard more birds singing each morning.
Yet, maybe they were all along, and this Earth Day,
I can take the time to be quiet.
And reflect.
To really enjoy it.

I wanted to create a piece that exemplified Mother Earth and the juxtaposition of her divine power.
This half and half quality.
Good and bad.
Or maybe aim to neutralize the two.
Without one there wouldn’t be the other.

Balance.

In honor of Earth Day, I’m offering 20% off sale on this piece :)
She’s one of my favorites.
