The Garden of Vegan Painting

The Garden of Vegan was inspired by the vegan lifestyle, and the animal rights movement. Within the painting of the garden are elements to create a sense of it being a fantasy or dream-like world. There are giant mushrooms and broccoli trees to emphasise the abundance of plant-based foods available to us. The massive smiling sunflower makes everything else in the scene seem very small. The sunflower represents the all-important sun that is necessary for life on Earth. The human sitting in the painting is also very small and this puts him on the same level as the animals. The animals can all be seen as friends in the garden. In the sky just below the rainbow, you can see the spirits of Cecil the Lion and Harambe. ----- longer description: Inspired by the vegan lifestyle and the animal rights movement. Within the painting are elements to create a sense of a fantasy or dream-like world. There are giant mushrooms and broccoli depicted as trees which may symbolise the abundance of plant-based foods available. The massive smiling sunflower makes everything else in the scene seem very small by comparison. The sunflower represents the all-important sun that is necessary for life on Earth. The human sitting in the painting is also very small and this puts him at the same level as the animals. The animals can all be seen as friends in the garden. In the sky within the vegan bubble, just below the rainbow you can see the spirits of Cecil (the Lion) and Harambe. Their lives were lost because of human interference but their lingering presence can bring about various feelings through contemplation of their demise. I hope viewing the painting will bring people pleasure and the ability to see the animals in a new light. Rather than seeing animals as food, see them as friends, and with a sense of compassion.
