Bonnie Dixon Light Above, Light Within Acrylic and oil on canvas 16 x 20 $780
"This painting combines two iconic images, Starry Night, by Vincent van Gogh, and the Cape Hatteras Light Station on the coast of North Carolina. My intent is to depict the cosmic interrelationship we have with all creation. A surprising discovery I made when I began to paint is, the shapes van Gogh gave the night sky at the bottom of his painting could also be interpreted as waves on a rising sea. Given the environmental crises we now face I used these shapes to make that association. It is my attempt to pay homage to the wonder of it all while expressing the temporary and fragile nature of our human attempts at safety and preservation."
