The Synergy Triptych

The central theme of these three paintings is based upon the symbiotic love between two people – the magnetism, lust, tenderness, visceral need and practical justification. Each in this union fills the other’s void, or enhances the other’s strengths. Love is like a completed puzzle, like water seeking its level. When all is complete, the world around them is fertile and lush for growth. Optimally, the expansion is beautiful, the goals are spiritual and life takes flight.

Synergy

Joined in the center painting are the male and female. This painting represents their bond and their need for each other, the promise and the potential.

“Yang”

“Yang” - the “male” potential. It is an expression of that which is considered our more masculine attributes, as exemplified by the ancient pyramid extending up to the more modern building. It has a geometrical, mechanical essence. This is power and solidity – endless possibility.

“Yin”

“Yin” is an extension of “female potential. This is the more creative side in each of us. From this aspect of the unity springs fertility of ideas, spiritual understanding, rebirth of the Phoenix from the flames – and endless possibility.

Mother’s Love

A mother’s love is boundless. She protects, teaches and nurtures. Her love is a required substance for the eternal continuation of life.

Walden Pond

Thoreau’s Walden Pond still holds his spirit. His passion for nature is reborn in the spring with new budding leaves; in the summer with the buzzing of insects on the flowers and the sparkling water. One can feel his joy in the autumn when trees are splendid in red, orange and gold, and the paths through the wooded banks are warmed by ferns. In the winter Thoreau’s pond is caked in crystal and the trees stand their vigil while the land sleeps.
