"Expulsion From the Garden"

$2,125.00

26 x 38 inches framed

20 × 30 inches unframed

Acrylic, oil pastel, & graphite on handmade paper

My take on the traditional motif in Judeo-Christian art, a story often conflated with loss of innocence.

While illustrations of this story generally feature an Angel with a flaming sword booting Adam & Eve, mine is a gentle breeze (the Irish blessing) and heaven’s watchful eye / a silent portal at the top. 

The dark green is the edge of the garden treetops, clearing out into open sky. Momentum is Eastward, as the story goes, not downward, not a fall. The light green moving forward hints at spring after fall.
