🎨 Cataclysm II - original painting

in art •  7 years ago 

I could see the old decomposing world
and from its death-reeking body to originate new worlds.
New small egg-worlds ready to create life.
And then I tasted my lips.
The sepulchral flavour was gone forever.
I had been the only survivor to see that life-giving spectacle.

I am familiar with your painting.
I just seen this recently, from my former home province Alberta, Canada: https://www.straight.com/news/918851/photos-tornado-touches-down-three-hills-alberta

The quoted poem is powerful - it makes me think of a Post-Ragnarok world that also speaks of renewal.
