Life’s Fortune

Life's Fortune

36 x 24 inches, Oil on Linen

ANATOMY: Right and left lobes of the liver with blood sup­ply, includ­ing the por­tal vein.  Stom­ach with mucosal lin­ing and mus­cle struc­ture show­ing.  Gall­blad­der, colon, small intestines, lower rib cage and sternum.

BEYOND:  Ever won­der why it’s called the “live”r?  After a death in my fam­ily, I real­ized that human beings cling to life as strong as pos­si­ble.  Peo­ple who are afraid to die or not pre­pared are at times ripped from their con­nec­tion to their body.  This speaks to the mor­tal­ity of us all in the wheel of for­tune of life.
