Description

The oil painting "It's a Rich Life", is storytelling in art through 4 cultural eyes.

This image is a small portion of the overal painting viewed at https://ianandersonfineart.com/product/its-a-rich-life-open-your-eyes-see-indigenous-art/ is a mix of 4 indigenous cultures telling the story of life's riches.

The oil painting is painted on stretch mounted Gesso primed canvas and protected with Damma varnish.

It has embedded stories unfolding from the idea that all mankind has a common thread. As creatures of pleasure, we want our stories told. The want for recognition, the want for peace and want for our ideas protected are all heart cries. We want answers. We are unique and yet there is something missing.

Who or what do we thank for all this wonder? Why have we all created our own cultures with our own inherent belief structures, good and bad philosophies, religions and politics trying to defend ourselves against the hidden evils we as a natural man all fear? Like it or not, we are all in this messy soup mix together and unless we allow a master chef with the right recipe to teach us how to create the best flavor to love our neighbor we will all be discarded as only good for compost!

I have created a fashion brand called "Feast" in collboration with Vida producing numerous collections from the artwork.
