THE END OF NATURE VII (2005)
Acrylic on Panel - 25" x 40"Up until this point in my End of Nature series, I had portrayed the people who represent humanity in general as somewhat oblivious to the support that nature was providing for them. 1/2

RIMRUNNER (2011)
Oil - 18” x 28”A painting in The End of Nature subset of my personal work, which represents humanity as somewhat oblivious to the support that nature provides for them. 1/2

-
UNWINDING (2021)
Acrylic on Gessobord - 10" x 11 ½”The paintings in The End of Nature series are concerned with our relationship to the environment and how we need to care for it. Here, the young boy takes a moment to just enjoy it. 1/3

ÉMIGRÉ (2006)
Acrylic on Panel - 12" x 12"A study done at the time I painted END OF NATURE VII, later finished to become a new small painting in its own right. 1/2

EROSION (1999)
Acrylic on Panel - 32" x 40"The fourth of my End of Nature paintings. The figure is stranded on a pillar of human folly, looking up to a symbol of technology—the lamppost—for her deliverance from the perils signaled by the oncoming storm. 1/2

CW: Nudity
THE END OF NATURE V (2000)
Acrylic on Canvas - 36" x 24"The title is meant as a double-entendre of sorts, something I enjoy doing with my personal work. 1/2
-
THE END OF NATURE II (1998)
Acrylic on Canvas - 30" X 48"The second in a series of paintings about our relationship with nature. All the figures are supported by nature, but the support is eroding and in danger of giving way completely if we don't pay attention and nurture it. 1/2
-
THE END OF NATURE III (1998)
Oil on Canvas - 14" x 44"One in a series of paintings concerning our relationship with nature. The people portrayed represent humanity as somewhat oblivious to the support that nature provides for them. 1/2
-
PERSPICACITY (2001)
Acrylic on Panel - 12" x 12"Also known as VIEWPOINT. This is a tangent point between The End of Nature paintings and The Virtues. For me, the butterfly represents the fleeting nature of life.

RIMRUNNER (2011)

THE END OF NATURE (1998)
Acrylic on Gessoboard - 28" x 22"The first in what became a series of paintings about our relationship with nature. All the figures are supported by nature, but the support is eroding and in danger of giving way completely if we don't pay attention and nurture it. Simply put, if nature falls we all fall down with it.

EDGEDANCER (2002)
Acrylic on Gessoboard - 28" x 22"A cautionary, “All good things come to an end...” While she dances away her day, the ground which supports her erodes into nothingness.

If only she indulged in a little self-examination, she would know that she carries the means to a new beginning on her own shoulders.
