THERE WILL BE AN ANSWER, 24 X 36" Acrylic on canvas

There were a few years between LET IT BE and this painting and a lot more cutting edge environmental research rendered again with high-tech paint. That research led me to the realization that Chemical Winter is really the root of our global environmental disaster. Oil and coal derived emissions of every description are the active ingredients of this chemical assault against life on earth that is disrupting the genetic codes of life on earth. That is the real issue. In this painting you see a butterfly. Not just any butterfly. This butterfly is a Question Mark butterfly. It's presence anywhere demands an answer from the human race.

Yes, you do see the butterfly. You also see that it's hovering over a chaotic backdrop that shows clean air being overwhelmed by contaminated air. In the air you can see letters and symbols. Not just any symbols. These symbols are the chemical formula for a pesticide manufactured by a Chinese chemical company. The name of the Chinese chemical company?: THINK. You have to ask yourself what exactly are they thinking? Pesticides when applied as directed, kill more beneficial insects than harmful ones. The chemical companies are killing the insects that are a vital link between the earth, the air and life on earth. They pollinate. Bees are far from the only creatures that assist plants to reproduce themselves. There are no junk insects on earth just as there is no such thing as Junk DNA. Everything has a purpose. 

Also floating in the turbulent air is a rectangular shape within the more obvious painterly frame that can't begin to contain the chaos:

the elemental symbol for humanity: Hu 52.

Only in this instance, I've corrected it to more correctly display as Hu 42.

Anyone who has read the works of Douglas Adams' satirical works encompassing THE MORE THAN COMPLETE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY knows that the answer to the Ultimate Question is 42. Humanity has long thought of itself as God's Gift to infinity and that we as a species have been left in charge of the Universe.

Our continuing destruction of planet earth has conclusively revealed idiocy of that delusion. Therefore it was only fitting that I very correctly restate the elemental symbol for Humanity to reflect our species wide superiority delusion. And at some point we know that after all is done and said, our actions on this planet will be judged in the harshest possible manner and as the Beatles so prophetically sang: THERE WILL BE AN ANSWER.
