Joy of Spring

Joy of Spring. For me this painting expresses my exuberance for this spring. The weather, new growth, and blooms were beautiful. My joy was profound. I completed this painting on March 19, 2011. Fortunately for my state of mind, I was working on this painting at the same time I worked on Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Reactors Radiation Plume Fallout Landscape, a somewhat depressing but realistic painting, which I posted yesterday.

Danger: Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Reactors Radioactive Plume Fallout Landscape

Danger: Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Reactors Radioactive Plume Fallout Landscape. I created this painting several weeks ago and completed it on March 21, 2011, about the disaster at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Reactors. Unfortunately for the world and nearby residents, the fallout from the radioactive plume will create an uninhabitable and inhospitable landscape, a dead zone, at least near the Daiichi facility for perhaps thousands of years. Of course, the painting's red border represents Danger.
