This painting was created from the emotion felt upon reading a Mount St. Helens plaque. It compared the number of atomic bombs, such as used on Hiroshima, it would take to equal the force of the volcano's blast. My abstraction reflects the noncomparative destruction of Mount St. Helens and the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The flow of my lines represents fallout, lava, and force of energy. Orange, red and yellow are for the intensity of energy and heat. Grey for death. Green for rebirth.
