Finding an adequate satisfying image of the world

This piece is inspired by the British Philosopher Alan Watts, who lived much of his life in my stomping grounds Marin County.  It's a small part of a larger group series based on my concept of Utopia. Patterns and polarity are fundamental aspects of the painting process. Watt describes beautifully how we are the Big Bang! We are omnipotent.  And if we examine our lives we will see that patterns are the essence of our behaviour and how life is not a conflict between opposites, it is a polarity. His most important message is how our ideas shape the world we live in.  And stresses the urgency of finding an adequate satisfying image of the world.
