Numbers have influenced humankind from the very beginnings of civilization and culture. From a time long ago forgotten when some ancient ancestor of ours used his fingers to describe how many Mammoths there were nearby. To our modern day mathematicians and physicists computing the enormity of our universe. Numbers have always been a part of our lives. One such number that has ascended to celestial heights is the integer "three". It's towering span of importance has stretched throughout history from the Triad of Abydos, through the mysteries of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and up to and including modern times when the first atomic explosion was nicknamed Trinity. Oppenheimer, the father of the first atomic bomb, when asked to describe this tremendous explosive moment referred to an ancient Hindu text, the Bhagavad Gita. A book about one of the "three" central figures of Hinduism. So the number "three" has held enormous sway throughout history. I wished, in some small way, to give homage to this meaningful little number. So with paint, brushes and canvas, the "three" items needed to fulfill my task, I have attempted to pay tribute to a number. There are probably not too many paintings done for one specific number but I thought it would be fun to do so. visionary imagist "Joey"
