The Effects of Departure from Ideal Proportions
2006
32 x 48 / Oil on Panel
Limited edition giclee prints available via www.paulbondart.com
I was at Ghost Ranch where Georgia O’Keefe lived near my home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I saw this door leading into what was a root cellar for the old ranch house that has become a museum. It was a beautiful metaphor for what we often experience in times of turmoil and doubt: the dark night of the soul. The globe with the flame in the center represents a human soul in its purest state. Here seen emerging from it's dark night purified, delivered, enlightened. And the ravens represent the shepherds of the unfolding mystery. This is one of my most deeply personal paintings.
