DOMINANCE of Series#5
“The series titled "CARBON” is the result of a 'small works challenge' where a group of artists from all over the world joined together online to create paintings in the fall of 2021.
“Carbon” is a thought provoking series showing concern regarding the depletion of wetlands. These areas are diminishing at an alarming rate. Wetlands are so beneficial in preventing greenhouse gases which are contributing to global warming.
…….Development has wiped out a huge percentage of this important ecosystem. They are the lungs of the earth………drying these up will take our breath away literally.
Creating this series is to raise awareness for the conservation of natural habitats, a call to find ways for healthy coexistence between nature and humans.
My hope as an artist is to get my message out especially in this time of crisis.
The technique.
I began with my loose watercolour technique on the gesso board. Painting this way kept me in motion with my predictable style. Once applied as a foundation, the painting layer was fixed so I could resume with layers of acrylic colours and mediums. Each panel has a story to tell about the importance of preserving wetlands. The common thread amongst them all are the trees holding the entire ecosystem together.
For this collection I’m using 12” x 12” 1/4” boards mounted on 3/8” plywood with keyhole suitable for hanging.
Ideal for new collectors.
Wetlands play an important role in climate change because of their capacity to modulate atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases such as methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide which are dominant gases contributing to global warming.
