Bull on a Black Rock # 27

This series of paintings explores the vulnerability of the strong. The bull represents us - with our convictions of purpose, our courage to be, and our willingness to persevere - our prime sources of strength. The black rock is the platform - either built by us, or inherited by good fortune - which provides us the opportunity to express ourselves - and show what we can do. The sky, the sun and the moon represent the ecosystem and the interplay of circumstance - our inspiration and our luck - that provide us with the conditions to perform. And then we come face to face with our self belief and self doubt: Yes, I can. Or. Can I?
