Earth Mother
Earth Mother
Here she is, Earth Mother. Rather than mother earth, the planet, historically seen to be tempting or nurturing, but now in desperate need, this our planet’s mother. Female Creator. I first painted her in my Cowley studio in 1999. But somehow, she wasn’t right. So, I started again, almost painting out all I’d done before. This new mother emerged, racially ambiguous and fully one with the spinning world, close to and almost one with her heart.
