Plaintain Lilly Painting

My INSPIRATION was all the wondrous worlds, both small and large co-existing in nature. I turned the tables on what we think of as our human macrocosm by painting the house tiny and dwarfed by the much larger Lilly plant. In Plaintain Lilly the human world becomes the microcosm and the human dwelling can be seen only through a small opening between the Lilly's enormous leaves. In addition the leaves are teaming with bustling insect life and meant to hint at the life inside the house with its tiny human inhabitants which is not so very different. II hope VIEWERS WILL FEEL about this image that it is akin to the view some gigantic entity from a distant corner of our universe would see if he/she/it lifted up a star and found billions of tiny humans rushing hither and yon. TECHNICAL MATTERS - I used acrylic paint (kept wet with a retardant) on linen canvas to create the movement, color and drama of this piece. The many built up layers of color make the surface glow. For the stars, I created texture and twinkling by using crushed gemstones which are pressed into the paint as stars. The painting is unframed, but painted on it's gallery-wrapped linen sides It is wired and ready to hang.
