Copyright 2008 Turtel Onli, oils 18" X 24" is a new Rhythmistic painting that makes subtle suggestions about the delicate balance in nature. Here the subject is wearing motifs for the Sun, Earth, and Water while she gazes at us. Is this gaze a call to action or inaction? Is she at one with this balance of nature? What is her relationship to the items that surround her? Watermelons are powerful symbols in a variety of world cultures and are unique in flavor, color, and nutritional value. Do you know of any symbolic or aesthetic uses or interpretations of the watermelon?
