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

This painting is my interpretation of “the shrinking wilderness"; the unrelenting march of society amid bulldozers swathing their way through our Canadian forests to make room for more and more housing, plus so many other threats- clearcut logging, climate change, etc.

The vertical lines at top and bottom of the painting represent perhaps venetian blinds coming down to compress and squeeze out the existing landscape.

The “bulldozer teeth” at the bottom of this piece might be self-explanatory to the informed viewer.

Once more, as in so much of my body of work, this painting is about our treatment of the environment and a  cry for humanity’s awareness.

The reference to Murphy’s Law is, of course, “whatever CAN go wrong, WILL go wrong.”
