'When Fornasetti's Sun came to visit' by Karen Lee, Tenbury Wells u3a
- acrylic painting by Karen Lee This painting is based on a Fornasetti image of the sun with a face and my interpretation of the sun visiting earth causing raging seas and birds migrating to cooler climes. It depicts the change in our climate where we should expect the unexpected and be ready to change and adapt.
