24x36 Mixed Media on Canvas

I painted this back in 2011 and it marked a change in my artistic style. We had some matte black paint left from painting our daughter Stella’s crib, and I decided to use it to create a piece depicting a rainbow battling a tornado. The swirling movement on the canvas creates the illusion of bats desperately trying to evade the destructive force of the tornado. The chaotic dance of the swirl captures the frantic struggle for survival as the bats frantically dart and weave through the tumultuous winds, their wingtips brushing against the edges of the canvas as they fight for escape.
