Artist's Statement
Not just a statement about the environment, this painting reflects man’s harsh impact on our flora and fauna, as well as predation. It is also inspired by the enormity of the effort of the female kiwi delivering an egg that would be the equivalent in human terms of delivering a fully formed four year old equal to one fourth of the mother’s weight. The Blood Moon (a total lunar eclipse or a series of them) is often referred to from the Book of Joel, Acts 2:20 as the beginning of the end of times. There are also personal historical references here from my own life going back nearly 100 years ago. This painting is part of a developing series that is not environmentally focused.
