Lena Delta in Russia

MY BEAUTIFUL EARTH SERIES

My thinking behind doing this series is the following: There are so many views , ideas, facts, myths etc around global warming as well as what is causing it and how it is affecting earth as well as what will happen to earth eventually.

With this series of paintings I will ask the question as to are we responsible for the so-called doomed future of earth or are we just caught up in a time on earth where this was bound to happen?

My paintings will show for e.g. the Yemen Wadi, which today is a desert like place with a little water and vast uninhabitable space, but in times gone by, thousands of years ago, it was a lush river with great forests. I am asking where did it go?  In those times I can not imagine “global warming” played a significant part in changing the landscape.

I will aim to let the viewer decide what the answer is.  Other paintings, e.g. the Lena Delta in Russia, I will include because I like it and it is beautiful and of my earth.

I have completed my research for this and spend many hours deciding on which will be the correct approach to follow and also which satellite photos to use as inspiration for this project.

At this stage I have completed 10 paintings in this series, some of which are shown in this blog. My aim is to end up with around 30, or until I have reached the stage where I have said what I wanted to.
