Bone Tree 2 / Hiroshima

New small painting:

Bone Tree 2 / Hiroshima

Acrylic on board, 2007, 10" x 8". A variant on the Bone Tree image (somewhere below -- check previous posts), combined with the Hiroshima mushroom cloud -- kind of a monument to the atomic bombing. How high is a mushroom cloud? I see it as being huge -- maybe a mile high or something...my motifs & themes tend to merge together. At some point, I have in mind doing a series of Hiroshima pieces -- over the years I've done a few here & there, with differing levels of success...
