This acrylic painting represents the Evolution of Humanity. The initial thought was to identify Humanity visually connected to this Earth by including the physical remains of a human skeleton buried within the landscape.

Essentially illustrating that we are tied to this planet and the artifacts that attest to our evolution are physically evident (i.e., cave paintings, written languages, glyphs, symbology, sculpture etc. to be found).

Also included is a reference to our individual connection to humanity with the inscription “Bottom Left Corner” which reads “The Continuing Presence of You Within Me”. This was initially the name that came to me for this painting… alluding to reincarnation and/or generations of Family, Ethnic, Tribal, National, as well as genus links to Humanity as a whole; Source energy and “I Am”.

The idea that we are all one, the creative force within us all. Above the horizon line the clouds depict Source Energies. They are spinning from above moving down and past the “Galactic Butterfly” and “Mayan Calendar” Symbols representing all consciousness… everything that has ever lived, all evolving like a Phoenix thru fires of transformation. Through cycles of time - “The Procession of the Equinoxes” we experience the Tree of Knowledge connecting our Heart Chakra with the heart of Mother Earth.

Our destiny is to evolve together, to accept and celebrate our connection with one another and all life. This is “The Evolution of Humanity”.
