Description

Nascent Earth is an original oil painting of a photograph from one of my travels to Iceland. Let me know what you see. It is exactly as the name suggests. The reason why this landscape painting of Iceland is named Nascent Earth is because, you can imagine what earth would have looked like in the beginning. The crystal clear waters are deceptively beautiful, unpolluted and are flowing with reckless abandon over the rocks. Notice the rocks are not all rounded, they still have jagged edges. It probably means the waters here have not flown this way for centuries. The heat emanating from the ground below is heating this water up and steam arises from the ground and is visible in the horizon. The colors of the sky are reflected on the waters in the foreground and seems almost surreal. It is not something we see everyday. The hills behind are devoid of any plantation and are dark and dreary. The light, almost cream colored silicic rock called rhyolite sticks out in sharp contrast to the dark basalt in the background. The Icelandite is seen as the grey, pink and yellow rocks in the painting. You will also see interspersed in the painting several red colored rock that is rich in iron. The brown rock is a result of oxidation when the iron and sulfur react with atmospheric oxygen. If the painting could smell you would smell the pungent hydrogen sulfide gas emanating where the sulfuric acid is dissolving the basaltic rock in the background resulting in the grey colors of this landscape. Iceland is quite the experience and the beauty in the landscape has to be seen to be believed.


Please note that the sale of this original art will generate funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) to help raise money for cancer research. I was introduced to the work of LLS in 2017. This organization that has climbed up 30 points in one year on the Forbes charity navigator. It is run by highly competent scientists and physician's who I have personally met. They believe they can cure cancer within our lifetime and I agree. Study and look at the progress they have made since their inception nearly 70 years ago! The cure rate of blood cancers in the 1960's was 3%, the year I was born. Today it is 94%. The research continues to happen at a feverish pace all over the world to bridge that gap. I raise money for Aparna who sadly lost her fight to cancer. We are losing many more as we speak whose life has been cut short by these dreadful diseases. As I write this just within the last week we have lost two of the greats - Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor to this deadly disease and they have been taken from us much too soon. Every life therefore is precious. It is our responsibility to help fund the fight and propel discoveries. We are the product of such discoveries. We enjoy a longer life expectancy because of the discoveries of people who came before us. I am a product of scholarships that were provided to me when I was young bright eyed and an enthusiastic PhD student who put in nearly 15 hours of the day in research. So I ask unabashedly for these scholars who toil to find those discoveries that will finally beat cancer.


Dr. Lou DeGennaro said and I quote "Its our job to cure blood cancer and put the society out of business."
