Paintings of Time and Place

Into the Future

One of my latest oil paintings created as a companion to Balance taught me that it is very difficult to go to a point back in my creative time.  Both paintings have similarities, but are very different in several ways.  Each of us is a microcosm of all that has preceded this very point in time, the events, images, people all adding up to a new perspective. 

Into the Future is more than just a composite.  It presents a question for which there are no answers, only conjectures.  What will the future of the planet be?  Technology has already changed the way we live.  How will it alter our future?  Only time will tell.

"Triality," Oil Painting Inspired by "Snow Crash"

It seems that the more I read, the more images race around in my head.   The last novel to linger for a long time is Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson.   Published in 1992, it has so much relevance for what is happening in the tech world today:  avatars, metaverses, and more that may come into being.  Some of the characters seem to be from another universe with their bizarre personas.  I read and paint images of duality, but why not triality as we thing about alternate universes?  And what about that other 60 percent or more of the brain which we do not use?   This character or characters lead one to wonder.
