Rainforest copyright 2010 by Dave Putnam


The resolution isn't good enough with a home computer to see it, but this painting has an almost microscopic fractal regression where images similar to the overall big image are repeated within the tear drop shaped bubbles, which in turn contain even smaller bubbles with still smaller images, and so forth past the capability of the human eye. You have to see it in person to really get the affect although if you look at the one really big bubble starting in the upper left hand corner you get the idea. Go see it live at Adieb Khadoure Fine Art, 613 Canyon Rd. Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Also, the image is sideways here, sorry. So turn your head to look at it. The idea I'm trying to portray is the nearly infinite complexity of life within a rainforest, a sort of tree-hugger manifesto.
