“Volcanoes poured forth, then;
Photosynthesis arrived,
With sunlight, water, and now
Air, for us to thrive.”

Except for 2 paintings in this series all are directly derived from plant forms since plants are essential for us to have atmospheric oxygen.
This painting is almost twice the size of the rest because it is the initiator for the series. The patterns come from an interpretation of this photograph of a crustose lichen .
This is a tenacious little plant that thrives on the surface of rocks all over the world.
