The still life-landscape combination painting demonstrates a subtle view through a set of transparent nesting glasses. The stacked nesting glass objects create a complex design that is softened by the cool landscape background. The complex composition allows the viewer’s eye to travel, climb upwards on a journey and rest on the calming colors in the blue sky. It is much like the balance of life with its ebbs and flows of complex issues interwoven with calm moments of peace and reassurance. I find that this painting tells an indirect story that we can all relate to as human beings.
