TREE VILLAGE
It’s 100 year in the future. As predicted, the seas continue to rise as the glaciers melt. There is very little land to live on. Mankind adapts, building entire villages on boats. Can humanity survive in this stacked up environment? Are people enjoying their seaside existence? Is overcrowding going to sink these boat villages as more and more houses are erected? Yes. It’s about global warming and the rise of sea levels. Here, the priority is survival… not solving the problem of global warming.
I first painted a version of this picture ten years ago. I called it “Boat Town.” Like all of my work, it was a digital painting. The painting was very popular and it sold out in many of the sizes I printed for sale. “Boat Village” is a new digital painting. I revisited the same composition from ten years ago and repainted it in a more spontaneous rendering that gives the picture a more immediate look.
JOHN LEBEN'S COLLECTABLE NOTECARDS
Leben's collectable notecards showcase his limited edition images on high quality watercolor paper and feature distinctive deckled edges around the image giving a border around the art. These cards are a great way to sample the art in a tangible way before purchasing a larger picture and can act as a mini print if you choose to frame them. They can also be a great way to send a personal note to someone special. Each card comes with an envelope included. Each order is a quantity of 1.
