Acrylic on stretched canvas
60.96 x 50.08 cm (24 x 20 in)
Is this what Darwin was talking about? shows my evolution over time, going from right to left in the painting. The Lockadoodle with an m-shaped lip draws my current Lockadook who in turn draws an incomplete doodle, a doodle of the future that I have not yet created. Charles Darwin wrote in On the Origin of Species, “species change over time through a process of natural selection, where individuals with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce.” I think the same process applies to artists. Artists are naturally experimental, but once an artist finds what they are good at, what best suits them and their environment, they usually stick to it with their particular style evolving over time.
