Opening tonight at Christ Episcopal Church, in their Historic Chapel, 90 Kings Highway, Middletown, NJ, my series of paintings from the early 90’s titled, “The Crosses We Bear”. These paintings were my response to the then brewing problems of global warming and climate change. To call attention to these issues I used the cross shape apart from its usual religious association as a powerful symbol of pain and hope. Needless to say, these are even more pressing issues now. The painting above the altar is “Titled Crucified Tree”, 90”x59”, oil on shaped canvas. The large painting of the palm tree on fire, is titled “Burning the Tree of Life”, 93”x77”, oil on shaped canvas. All the other paintings are various sizes, oil on shaped canvas. There is some collage in the “Endangered Monarchs” painting. This is dated 1993. They are now on the endangered species list. All together there are 10 paintings and 4 framed works on paper in the show. The opening tonight is from 5:30-7:30 if you’re in the area. There will be a tent outside for refreshments. Other dates to see the show are Wednesdays from 5:30-7:30 and Saturdays from 10am-2pm. Also after usual worship services listed on their website. wwwchristchurchmiddletown.org A catalog is available. @christchurchmiddletownnj #christchirchmiddletown @revway #revway #endangered #endangeredspecies #savetherainforest #savethemonarchs #globalwarming #climatechange #climatechangeisreal #oilpainting #ecologicalart #artistsofinstagram #artistsforconservation @audigras @stellarhighway @slaggallery @the_artist_advisory @kin_gold (at Middletown, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjIxgf_rTSu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
