Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Series
White Horse: Pestilence
Watercolor on paper 5 x 7 inches 2020 The White Horse brings pestilence. According to the WHO website, as of June 29, 2020 there have been 503,862 confirmed deaths from the coronavirus pandemic worldwide (126,203 confirmed deaths in the United States). Over 10 million people worldwide (~2.6M in the US) have tested positive for COVID-19 and that number continues to grow. |
Black Horse: Famine
Watercolor on paper 5 x 7 inches 2020 The Black Horse brings famine. Right before the lockdown started, I went out to buy flour. My thinking was that even if food became scarce I could at least bake bread to survive. At the grocery store the flour shelves were completely empty. |
Red Horse: War
Watercolor on paper 5 x 7 inches 2020 The Red Horse is sometimes thought to bring civil war. Our country is divided politically, morally, socially, economically... the list is endless. We may not be at war, but we are a divided, warring nation. |
Pale Horse: Death
Watercolor on paper 5 x 7 inches 2020 The Pale Horse brings death. Overpopulation, global warming, climate change, the list goes on. Our planet is being stripped of its life and we are the cause. What will a dead earth look like? Certainly not lush greens and blues, but a dry, hot, lifeless ball of dirt. |
