Peace on Earth, Peace off Earth, Peace with Earth
Arthur Woods Earth Art
My “Earth Energies” series of paintings are focused on the “overview” of planet Earth situated in a cosmic environment full of energy, resources and activity. As gravity already exerted a significant influence on my art, the message embodied in these works is that Earth's physical boundary is not limited to its atmosphere but extends outward to its real cosmic boundary - that which is defined by Earth’s own gravitational influence in its immediate cosmos - Greater Earth.

My realistic painting has focused on my immediate surroundings on the surface of our home planet. These works of Swiss landscapes where I live are painted in my particle physics inspired pointillistic painting technique. While for most people these works are my personal approach to the art of landscape painting, I see them as works imbued with cosmic energy and the “star stuff” that constitutes both the basis and the perception of an interconnected and interdependent reality that we all share.
