Kinetic Theory, 2012, 48”x30”, oil and digital collage on wood panel

In this piece I explore the connection of Einstein’s seemingly abstract theorems to the physical world.  As a young man one of Einstein’s first achievements was to redefine and improve upon the existing theorem of the behavior of gasses in a space, providing the proven groundwork for our understanding of hydrodynamics and thermodynamics.  I contrast this theorem with the silvery free-floating clouds over the Sonoma skies.
