“The Last Try” is a 48x60” Multilayered Painting with built-in LED's. This painting showcases an everyday man holding the Earth back from tumbling off the timeline of life, and falling into the abyss of extinction. I started this commissioned painting a month or so before the pandemic even happened, but as the days went on while being stuck at home, and seeing the dreary news come through, this painting started to feel eerily fitting for the times we're living in. Although it is an intense and almost frightening visual, I also want it to symbolize hope. We are a species of fighters that won't go out without a fight.
