Garden of Delights 

2021

Oil paint on stretched canvas

60 x 48 in.

This painting was made during the pandemic when I was feeling that I wanted to do something different from my usual work, which for me meant working in oils, and less abstractly.  The image of birds, blossoms, flora, fauna, and Mother Earth came to mind. Just as we were all experiencing the claustrophobia of lock down and isolation, the aim was to create something that expressed the idea of nature bursting forth and unfolding. While it has a name reminiscent of the painting by Hieronymus Bosch, “The Garden of Earthly Delights,” also known as “The Garden of Lusts,” this painting is meant to be more about the joys of the natural world rather than the punishments and perils of temptation.
