"Mother Nature Snow"
(acrylics on draped canvas)

by Leo Wayman

"One of the most well known of mythical figures is Mother Nature. The Mother of Life, she is responsible for meteorological and geological changes, as well as celestial and earthly beauty. In this painting I depicted Mother Nature in a partially nude, yet commanding posture. This is to give the viewer the ability to relate to the cold, and at the same time see the creative power of Nature's Mother in a snow serenity. The model I used for this painting was my wife."

Leo Wayman, painter & sculptor, paints in a studio in a 19th century building on the east shore of the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. He is available for commissions both public and private, and welcomes visits to his studio. Call for an appointment at 503-267-4215.
