'Surreal Falling Preservation' Original Oil Painting
As a native resident of New York State, residing in both Long Island and New York City for my life thus far, I am in full awareness of the way New York State as well as its residents care for, or destroy nature. I am a believer in preservation acts in nature, with also a focus on our individual carbon footprint. When we take a look at the parts of these greater preservation acts, it comes down to the individual. This landscape is a surreal version of what will and can lowly happen to nature if city life takes over. The species which some represented here are endangered already, will slowly fade away and cease to exist. I am fascinated by the surreal style that can be creatively made up in ones mind. I wanted to make for a representational view of what could happen with my own imaginative spin on the composition. This creation to me means to always be in concern with the surrounding nature around us. It is inspiring to not only the whole party involved, but to the individual. Reducing our carbon footprint is crucial for the longevity of our planet.
This hand built and stretched canvas painting is a unique square size and comes ready to hang by hook and wire. 30x30 inches, 1 inch in depth.

The Process |
The process of creating this started with an image in my mind, which then was brought to life in a digital mock up collage on the app procreate on my iPad. This served as my own personal reference photo to use as I was painting. The prismatic color scheme was one I chose very intently. I wanted to create a dismal sense, and I feel color has a lot to do with that feeling. I learned more about species of animals that are native to North America while painting this. The animals that are presented are the American black bear, & deer. The ones which are endangered are the spotted turtle, karner blue butterfly, & short eared owl. The challenges of this painting was due to the size of it, it was quite a time consuming and detailed process on a large scale. I feel the size holds correlation to the prodigious subject matter being showcased. Creating a sense of nature slowly merging into and destroying nature was a daunting yet exciting task to take on for my creation. Created in 2023.
