Life Cycle

Magnolia Seed Pod Series

Life Cycle

This series of paintings

Are more to me than botanicals.

They reflect the wonder of life.

Its life cycle

Reflects our life cycle:

Birth

Passion

Flourish

Release

Rest

Seeds

Humans

Individual lives

Collective lives

Where have we been?

How have we grown? What is next?

Reflections on the passage of time...

Individual Lives

What do I have to offer with the time I have left?

Will the seeds I put out there in the world flourish?

Children, ideas, service, projects set in motion…

Will the Love I put out there grow?

Collective lives

What is the human place in the space/time continuum?

Everything here right now is a survivor.

Will we survive?

Should we survive?

What is Survival without Compassion?

The DNA of all living things on our planet

Stretches back billions of years.

How far into the future will it stretch?

How are we even here, in this very moment and place in time...

Why are we here? and What is after?

These are just a few of the things

I ponder and wonder about 

When painting a seed pod

That dropped into our back yard.
