In the Beginning

The linen canvas for the Creation of the Universe is being prepared

Newberry, stretching the canvas for The Creation of the Universe

Yay! Sketching my next Belgian linen (the best in the world) canvas. 64×46”.
The subject is a couple making love in deep space with the Milky Way as a backdrop.
The theme is the creation of the Universe.
The symbolism is that humanity is at the center of everything.
The metaphor is that making love rocks the universe.
The axiom is that humanity is at the center of everything, and try to disprove it from a non-human perspective. 😉
The emotion is exaltation!
The philosophy is that eudaemonia, the spirit of human flourishing, is the greatest aim.
The moral is pursue the greatest state of being possible to you.
The problem is to make all that feel real, to be humanly possible.
