Reference #762.JPG About "Two snails and the city" This is a semi-abstract work and one of my first ones.I was inspired by the freedom a snail compared to the hustle and bustle of city life.The tree symbolizes two things.Protection for the snails against the natural forces,but also against the uncoming threat of civilization-the city represents the industrial and energy-sapping life of man and the machine.I chose snails to emphasize the hyperbole of being protected-by its own shell,and also because they are very cautious and slow creatures,which resonates with nature and the slow process of reproduction,recycling.The snails represent both the fragility and the curiosity of man in a cruel and destructive world.But as long as their life support system is there-the tree and the sun and shade and dew,they will not be threatened by life. |

I'm inspired by colour, spaces, contrasts, in nature, in patterns and shapes and sizes. I enjoy the natural elements,the seasons and nature itself. I love sunrises and sunsets and wide open spaces,fields and the countryside. I want to tell the world that there is hope and love in abundance if we open our eyes and ears and hearts to receive it. I have been enjoying painting and drawing pictures even from before school and once got a hiding as a kid from my dad for drawing pictures on the kitchen wall tiles with a blue marker.
