Life Source (2009 City of Lincoln Watershed Management Project)

“Life Source” is inspired by two natural resources: wind and water and incorporates images representing each.  While traveling in Iowa last fall, I was overwhelmed by the number of wind turbines rising over the landscape.  They looked like giant flowers towering above the green rolling hills.  I created a three petal flower image from this scene inspired by the turbines and am using it as the central point if my design.  As I think of nature, life and the rain barrel I am reminded of how everything needs water for survival and growth – a physical life source.  
 
One tip of the flower gently touches a pool of water, its  life source, creating a ripple effect which becomes the grid to which I added color.  I used fluid marks in the grid to create the idea of water and wind movement. Three main colors: red, blue, and green were used along with tints and
  shades of each for depth and interest.  Once the paining was complete, I out-lined the grid in black which creates a stained glass effect.  I then accented and added depth to the work by using random paint splatters and metallic spray paint.  
 
I hope viewers will ponder not only the importance of water as a physical life source, but will also think on what they might consider their own personal life
source or inspiration to be.
