One of my favorite Marine Animals. Natures own Fibonacci Spiral, or did Fibonacci discover the Spiral by examining a Nautilus? I think he discovered it by observing Nature 🤔

Thank you, sound advice from you & my Spiritual Leader, His Holiness the Dali Lama. He reminds us that when we are in crisis we need to take Medicine. That medicine is Meditation. Meditation can be in many forms. So I “turned inward, turned on, and tuned out” and started painting again.

His Holiness my Spiritual Leader the Dali Lama 🙏😃

Respectfully submitted for your respect and appreciation of my Artwork. I owe all of you an apology for my absence. I have been going through an emotional episode of depression and anxiety. So I needed to step aside and reflect and recover from the violence and ignorance of fellow Homosapiens. 🫤🫣

“Eye of the Nautilus - A Fibonacci Spiral” a mathematical sequence that replicates a Nautilus found in nature. The steps are made from the Reef Stone during excavation. They are various colors
of White, Ochres, Siennas and Grays. Far down the Spiral Staircase is an inlaying of Mosaic Tile of Red, Light Turquoise and Cobalt Blue, that forms a Compass Rose. The Staircase Handrail is made of Bronze that is well worn from years of use. A patina of green/sienna invades the entire hand-railing. Lastly, the Handrail Stiles are made from Wrought Iron with Brass Trimmings. The lighting from above casts shadows that replicates the appearance of the Fibonacci Spiral 🌀 and a Repetition/Variation of a Nautilus.

This is the Grisaille underneath the painting. I work in the North-light Tradition and in the French School of painting and drawing.
So what is this painting about? It is about Repetition/Variation. A Greek Philosophy, the basis for understanding Evolution and how understanding Nature influences Science, Engineering and the Arts. The forces upon this structure are similar to the forces upon an Ammonite or a contemporary day Nautilus. There is truth in the thought that “Nature will always find a way”. We too as Homosapiens can find our way, but only if we are willing to accept what Nature teaches us. Unfortunately, Homosapiens are not the smartest Simian Mammal, our arrogance and ignorance are a Death Kneeling to our Species and we have no one to blame but ourselves. Please accept this as a gift to you all in deep respect. I am emotionally and mentally broken, and I need time to heal before I start posting anymore. Peace ☮️ Love 💕❤️ & Happiness 😃

Hi Derek, bummer, but I think there is a “Nutter” out there or possibly MAGA trying to block. I got blocked too, just a few day ago for posting this painting I did of this parked Aircraft. It’s kind of a head scratcher 🤔😝
