About The Original Painting
Wonderful World, 2020
Acrylic on canvas
18” x 24”
The Louis Armstrong quote “and I think to myself what a wonderful world” is one of the most recognizable song lyrics.
These beautiful bodies love singing it because it affirms the power of seeing beauty in the world. Surrounded by tones of green and blue this vibrant composition swells with the heartfelt energy of this classic New Orleans song.
This painting is part of my series Beautiful Bodies which are acrylic canvas paintings of skeletons with hearts offering the meditation of “Be In Your Body and See with Your Heart”.
In this series skeletons symbolize our essential connection to nature and our ancestors and the heart is a reminder of our capacity for nurturing relationships. In my color palette black references grounded wisdom, white symbolizes interconnection, and red radiates passion.
They are part of the artistic tradition of “memento mori,” or macabre celebrations of life and death. You can find examples of this iconography from the earliest neolithic creations through to our modern art history.
In my compositions I primarily use layers of black, thin washes of color, a variety of dots and lines combined with minimal gestures of realism.
