This is a close up of a new painting that I just finished. These are the eyes of Rachel Carson, a wonderful woman and the mother of the global environmental movement in the past century. She wrote the famous book "Silent Spring" that is still relevant today.
She said: 'So nature does indeed need protection from man; but man, too, needs protection from his own acts, for he is part of the living world. His war against nature is inevitably a war against himself. His heedless and destructive acts enter into the vast cycles of the earth, and in time return to him'.
