We Lost Our Empire A Long Time Ago
Artist

Medium
Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
A visual depiction of our future if we continue on a path of greed and corruption. I created this painting that was inspired by, you guessed it, the Palace of Fine Art in San Francisco. I started to create paintings from my usual bright, ultra vivid paintings of Sunsets and Sunrises in 2008 after the housing market bubble burst and millions of people lost their pensions, their jobs, etc.; simply due to Hedge fund managers of unregulated banks that went into default and they took the $$ they had, (About $1 Trillion Dollars) out of America, and got away scott free!! No major banker was punished in the slightest that nearly caused the financial collapse of America and the world due to their insatiable greed and "cooking the books". I started painting Ruins not realizing I was painting what was on my mind as a person that watches the Dow Jones and reads the WSJ. I knew the housing bubble would burst and nearly collapse this nation and it did burst, but thanks to some quick thinking, we averted a national and international crisis but we haven't learned our lesson. These paintings reflect the future if we don't grow up now and stop spending $$ needlessly for war and more to help individuals and their careers. For instance, supporting your small business near you is much better than supporting corporations that feed only their corporate leaders in the millions while the rest starve. Support your local Artist, live below your means, (You don't need that huge house) and $60,000 car that should cost $6,000! It will in a few years. So, what's it going to be?! Protect giant oil and pharma or change the way we work, live and play and surround ourselves in art, music, poetry, writing, and so many individual artists! Surround yourself in art and you will feel mentally better, listen to music, poetry, meditate and finally, share what God has given unto you.

Brilliant Painting!! Wonder why it hasn't sold!? Especially when you compare works like these in oils to the "pop art of the month flavor average art that is out there that is selling for millions. This can drive an artist crazy!

Looks like the way I always imagined Carn from A Magician's Nephew would look. I love the romance and wish I could jump straight in wearing a red gown. Spectacular.

Thank you Rachel. I just saw your compliment so I apologize I didn't send a response earlier. Sometimes FAA forgets to let me know about comments. Thank you! :)
