The Last Tree Joanna Kos

Oil on Canvas 36" x 24" $1900

This painting addresses the ongoing problem of the ecological devastation of our natural environment, in particular deforestation. I am very concerned about this violent, senseless destruction of nature happening right before our eyes. During my life, I have lived in many different places where I have repeatedly witnessed the pattern of thoughtless cutting down of trees and the killing of wild animals. How can we save our planet when our attitudes towards nature are so hateful or indifferent?
