I almost called this painting 'Elemental', but instead named natural elements we're surrounded with earth, air, and water.
What prompted the first concept of this work was the sheer magnificence of elemental nature, the vastness, and the majesty of interaction; a big idea but wonderful, as this is what supports all life on earth.
So, in 'Earth Water Air' we see storm clouds with some blue peeking through, fallen rain held perhaps on some outback plain, all supported by massive rock and earth, fissured and tilted over time. And through this monumental crust, water trickling down to aquifers far below, from where one day it will be drawn up to begin a cycle all over again.
I'm not a scientist and this is a work of imagination, but it's a way of showing my reverence for the actual land I live in.
This work has a fascinating quality, being placed somewhat between description and abstraction. 'Earth Air Water' would imbue a room with great presence.
