The downward spiral is picking up speed

I read some articles recently about the dire state of our environment and how many indicators are actually worsening faster than scientists had predicted. Indicators like ocean temperatures, melting glaciers, rising seas and extreme weather. This painting was inspired by the Canadian wildfires that filled New Jersey - New York for several days with smoke and bad air quality. It’s untitled Burning.

The second image I finished today. It’s not a sunset or sunrise. It’s entitled Good Bye, Blue Sky. the title is borrowed from a Pink Floyd song. A suitably somber song from The Wall.
