An Intergalactic Storm & Lear's Storm
An Intergalactic Storm & Lear's Storm This morning's news feed brought images from NASA's Webb space telescope. An image of the Pillars of Creation (astronomers' hyperbolic nomenclature) brought to mind one of my paintings. Years after a flood from hurricane Isabel devastated our cottage I commemorated our recovery with this painting of Lear chalanging the storm, "Rage, Blow, Ye Cataracts and Hurricanoes." Shakespeare's breath, upper right, animates the faces of the storm, who in turn blast Lear and his fool. Do you see the faces in this intergalactic dust "storm"? I reoriented the picture to highlight the similarity.
