In the midst of the largest worldwide health crisis in 100 years, Covid19 pandemic, the unearthing of over 400 years of racism in the USA (and around the world) with nightly protests in Portland Oregon and elsewhere, the west coast of the USA this summer was attacked by the largest wildfires in history related to a climate catastrophe created, in part, by mankind and their inability to live with respect and light tread on the natural world. This painting of New Growth symbolizes the strength of the natural world and can give one hope for regrowth and change.
