In the first painting you will see that there are 13 women of diverse cultural backgrounds celebrating the fruits of the earth in broad daylight under the sun and the trees and the sky from whence all their nourishment comes. There is no traitor among them either.
This painting is a response to Da Vinci's miserable Last Supper cast in a dank room full of suspicion as to who would betray whom. There is no celebration of life at the meal, death hangs in the air turgid with doom and gloom.
The Last Supper was painted during the Renaissance period or "Rebirth". This was a false birth, for it did not engage the genius of Woman, she who actually DOES give birth! What the earth needs now is a true Renaissance where men and women together give birth to a new way of being that is about life, sustainability, human ingenuity, and the awakening of the true creativity of humans. We have boundless stores of knowledge and intuition in the vibrant energy fields around us to merely reach out and capture to implement toward our autonomy as humans rather than sheeple. I am saving you a seat at the table of global consequence. Please join in me in this true feast of absolute thanksgiving for all the earth provides us.
The First Supper
My sister Native American-I reach out to you,
For yours is the way of respect for the earth.
My sister Africa, you I embrace,
For yours is a compassionate race.
My sister Asia, I look deep in your eyes,
Let us be strong together.
Yes, Sisters, Chicano, Latino, Muslim and Jew,
I am white and I am woman
And I am tired of watching for centuries,
While my husbands sons and fathers
Steal and pillage,
Here, I give back what I can,
It is not too late for us to make a new world together.
Go here for a truly bizarre take on the Last Supper!
