Paintings from the Middle East Series

As the Gulf War erupted in the Middle East, the conflict in my head was "still-life" or "figure" - until I decided to do both. The turbulence of the world compels me to paint some serenity into my part of it.

This piece started my Middle East series, which includes paintings in this section and others in the full color brochure you can email for.

 

We are all children of the Middle East. And we are all family. Here I have gathered family and their symbols a bit more explicitly than in most of my work.
The ball reflects my entire studio - as art reflects my world.

 How can I paint time passing? Here, time moves through a tunnel of mirrors. In the mirror within the finished painting, the artist leaning on her mahlstick works on an earlier unfinished version. See if you can figure out the relationship between the piece of canvas on the left edge of the painting and the ball & tassel on the right edge.
