Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus, Oil on Canvas , 36” x 48”

This painting is an example of what I refer to as my “Zen Still-Life” Series. I'm trying to evoke a sense of peace, tranquility and balance with the simplest natural objects. The subdued colors and composition, along with the large scale are meant to encourage appreciation of ordinary things. The divine is expressed in everything.

I'm happy to report that this painting was recently sold by Saatchi Art. These are uncertain times for artists, with galleries closed and/or having to forego large openings, and everything moving online. I wonder if the art business will ever return to what it used to be.

With so much noise and so many existential threats in today's environment, art that can evoke peace of mind seems more necessary than ever.
