"No Life" 24 x24 acrylic on stretched canvas.

This painting is conceptual. I overheard a conversation at work about the lack of finances and not being able to pay bills. It made me feel life all the color and life was being stripped from the world. The economy is bad, no one has any money, people have lost their jobs and homes. Those of us who still have our jobs haven’t gotten a raise in 6 years. Our insurance has gone up we can’t pay our bills. When you go to work everyone has a long face. We are all stressed and wonder what the future holds. That is what this painting is about and how I feel about what is going on in the world. The shuttle was discontinued that is why it has no color. We now use and rely on rockets from other countries to get our astronauts into space that is why the rocket is in color. Florida has no color because well that is where I live and so many people are out of work especially since the Shuttle Program has ended. This is my conceptual interpretation of what is going on in the world.
