Mother, acrylic on canvas, 40″x60″, $4200, unframed
$4,200.00Mother is seen in the relationship between the doe and the fawn, between Mother Nature and the deer, the forest, the water, the air … and we human beings.
Balance and harmony are key in these relationships and within the elements of the painting itself.
Sky, land and water are balanced in their composition and colour.
Horizontal lines of blues in sky and water border the warm colours of the land. The birch trees cut through the horizontal sections in both their vertical direction and their bold blacks and whites, holding the overall composition together in its framework.
The mother deer is protective in her stance, standing guard over her fawn as it safely nourishes itself from the lake.
The birch trees stand as sentries, providing the deer with their protective cover. They stand straight and tall, holding the land and reaching into the sky, being nourished by and benefiting our environment and, in turn, us.
“Mother” invites the viewer into the scene. As the doe protectively holds our gaze, the viewer is drawn into the richly textured forest. What will our relationship be with our wilderness environment?
