'Power Or Prey'
Oil
I have inter-fused onto one artwork snippets of various subject matter that I enjoy painting individually to create one work titled 'Power Or Prey'.
A painting with a mystical feel, showing the viewer there is power in the ocean, a wave, the clouds brewing a storm, and the hawk, one of New Zealand's birds of prey.
There is also a vulnerability in the woman depicted, who is using her imaginary spirit bird to shield herself from facets of wordly unpredictability and chaos.
The Waxeye bird riding the wave is a reminder we must trust our universal path forward as it ebbs and flows in the tides of life.
