The Three Sisters, Canmore, Alberta / Bulldozer (Murphy’s Law III)

This painting is the artist’s interpretation of “the shrinking wilderness” -  the unrelenting march of society amid bulldozers swathing their way through the Canadian wilderness to make room for the demands of civilization.  The ultimate cost to our planet -  clearcut logging, climate change and so many other threats add to this grave risk.

Once more, as in much of this artist’s body of work, this piece refers to the way we are (mis)managing (?) the stewardship of our environment as well as it is a cry for humanity’s awareness, before it's too late.

The vertical lines at top and bottom of the painting are meant to represent perhaps the idea of “venetian blinds” being lowered to compress and squeeze out the existing pristine landscape.  The symbolic “bulldozer teeth” at the bottom of the painting might be self-explanatory to the informed viewer.
