Featured painting of the week: The House is Burning
This week’s featured work is a painting — actually a diptych (two paintings that form one work) titled “The House is Burning.” The provocative title should make one think immediately of global warming – climate change. That’s certainly appropriate, but there’s even more to the story. Now seems like a good time feature this painting,…
