My artwork is of a Northern Pacific Rattlesnake, surrounded by large bootprints. That symbolizes how helpless many animals are in comparison to people and our machines. The Northern Pacific Rattlesnake has subspecies around BC and some places in the United States . It's not endangered yet, but it will be if we continue to destroy their homes. Entire populations of snakes can be wiped out by destroying a single home; a hibernaculum. Many are also killed by misinformation and fear. People see snakes as a danger, rather than an animal at risk of being endangered.

Very nice Kelton.Your artwork makes me want to protect that snake...and that doesn't happen very often. It looks so vulnerable with the footprints.

Kelton's describes so well how the survival of the Northern Pacific Rattlesnake depends on our acttions. In the painting the rattlesnake has a presence and is full of life.
ReplyDeleteAn awesome painting, it works on many levels for me.
