SOLAR FLARE 18″ x 24″ on Canvas<\/p><\/div>\n

This SOLAR FLARE\u00a0<\/strong>painting was inspired by my love of the sun. \u00a0It’s mixed media on canvas, sized 18″ x 24″ using a combination of Createx paint and Uni Poscas.<\/p>\n

I’ve had a life-long fascination with waves and the sun.<\/p>\n

Many people don’t realize the power of the sun; that it is everything; \u00a0it gives us light, warmth and life.<\/p>\n

I often wonder how solar wind affects our weather on a daily basis. \u00a0 Sunspots can produce solar flares, directed at the earth, and have a huge impact on us.<\/p>\n

Scientists even attribute solar flares to earthquakes, due to the fluctuation to the magnetic field.<\/p>\n

I contemplate what kind of effects solar activity has on the waves we ride, and the intensity of the sunburn we get when surfing.<\/p>\n

I have noticed more intensity in the sun, and I wonder if solar flares have something to do with it. \u00a0It seems as if the sun is releasing more energy; but it’s probably due to the fact that earth’s magnetic field is weakening, providing less protection. \u00a0The solar radiation is able to penetrate deeper to the surface of earth.<\/p>\n

This change obviously affects our weather and our waves and how much sunburn our bodies get. \u00a0I wonder what other impact this solar wind has on us?<\/p>\n

Almost all religions can be traced back to sun worship. \u00a0Why do you think that is?<\/p>\n

If we call the Earth our Mother, then for sure the Sun is our Father.<\/p>\n

The sun is our source of heat and light. \u00a0It is energy. \u00a0It is everything.<\/p>\n

Life is Good, \u00a0Drew<\/p>\n
