Commemorative Plaques of Nature

"Subtle may be nature's teachings,

             yet deep in thoughts and feelings." - avr

Mounted butterflies on acrylic painting - biology specimens 

and artwork combined.

"Souvenirs of nature grace our halls and homes,

 imprimatur of man's relationship with her,

binding us through boundaries and generations,

beauty we both uphold and share." - avr

 

Coed holds mounted pyroclastic rock from Mt Pinatubo's eruption, 

above her hangs a chandelier depicting endangered wildlife.  

Right, aboriginal wooden gong, protocontinent relief, and marine 

turtle carapace (uppermost).

Ephemeral and anthropocentric man's triumphs are,

in trophies and awards - fading away by and by,

like Narcissus seeing only himself, fell and drown,

lament the deities, the lake asking why.

 

Relief paintings serve as reminder of the threatened conditions 

of our environment.  (Ruins from deforestation, GMO flowers 

gone wild) 

"When nature is subject of destruction,

she yearns for man's concern and action,

          and compensates for his compassion." - avr

Nature painting speaks: "Let me give your eyes rest"

 Dedicated to our postmodern living, with accompanying message.   

 

"Look deep into this image painted by one whose eyes have long sought for peace and quiet, for connection with Nature in the sky and into the deep, in the microcosm of a leaf, filaments of algae, rootlets, buds, myriads of unseen mysteries of creation. And in seeing all these, you may find your way back to beauty, innocence and joy, to the simplicity and harmony of life and living.
