Seeing is believing...

Isn't it great that you can try a painting on the wall before buying it?  Here is a virtual picture hanging so we can visualise it on the wall before the house is even built!

This painting is called "One Minute Before the Tsunami" and it shows a peaceful landscape just about to be destroyed by the massive wave. I painted this picture after hearing testimonies of people who were victims of tsunamis. What struck me is how they described that within seconds a mind state can go from bliss to anguish and terror, so I painted the former to raise awareness and say: "imagine what next..."

With climate change issues, there will be more weather extremes on our planet...
