In the story of Noah's ark it's commonly told that Noah sent birds to see if there was dry land. It's been suggested to me that it might really have bees Noah sent out and not birds.

In a bee hive worker bees keep everything going, they do just about everything. I read that some people think of a hive or a swarm of bees as an entity; like we are made up of various cells and organs, a swarm or hive is made up of bees. I was thinking of portraiture and how the people in them are usually important or at least like to think themselves so. The worker bees are very important to the hive and individual people are very important to their families or fiends, community, etc.

Wassily Kandinsky and others have connected certian shapes and colors such as circles being blue and triangles being yellow. I used that in this piece and I also was looking to a church window which represents trinity and unity.

I used to work early mornings at a bakery and one morning as I was walking to work I looked up to see the moon surrounded by clouds rimmed with gold. It was stunningly beautiful and so I decided to paint it. This piece is done on the golden section.

Sacred Geometry

In high school geometry was one of my least favorite subjects, I had a hard time with it and I had a weird teacher; I was surprised, when in college I came to enjoy something called sacred geometry. Geometry had been my least favorite math subject, I learned about sacred geometry in my art classes. Sacred geometry is unlike regular geometry in that regular geometry deals with numbers where sacred geometry works visually. In the golden age of Greece it is believed that sacred geometry was practiced and responsible for the acclaimed beauty. As the renaissance began the knowledge of ancient Greece and Rome was recovered and painters such as Albrecht Durer and Leonardo da Vinci learned sacred geometry from Fra Luca Pacioli.
Today sacred geometry is not a widely known area of study, and since hearing about it I've been trying to learn more about it, to understand it better and to include it in my art work. For anyone interested in learning more about sacred geometry I recommend Sacred Geometry by Miranda Lundy and other Little Wooden Books.
