A Meditation on Home and Land

Illustrated in minimalist style, is a farmstead on a rural property, an ancient tree stands sentinel with a flock of birds rising from its branches; to the right of the painting is a telephone line with a solitary line connecting the inhabitants of the house to the rest of the world. in this space, the concept of home is tied firmly to land. The turning of crops, the smell of dirt, fresh rain, baking heat, and flat plains. The insignificance of human interaction with the land in terms of time adds to the relationship between people and nature, a stewardship of something scared, where home is a relationship with place not just a structure.
