In the center of the tablet screen is an orange half, whose color has come to represent the fake tan of our current leader, Donald Trump. For me it is convenient as the color opposite blue on the color wheel, blue being my representation of Trump via his favorite social media tool, Twitter. In this painting, as with many of my collages, the images on the device's screen are not directly representative of what lies beyond. It is a landscape of symbols, with a billowing "V" formation from a distant volcano, suggesting that Mother Earth might be experiencing a severe case of indigestion and a determined "V" squadron of Twittering air supporters, buffeted by a verse from the bible, which speaks of the impermanence even, of those who might be in an exalted position.
