I just can't stop looking at it!
Thank you !
I think you are exaggerating a little ( a lot ) there, but I appreciate the kind words never the less.

I'll post an updated picture as the painting progresses. I'm glad that some of you can tell what some of the things are in the painting ( such as the oil ).

I was trying to get the viewer to see several things in the image, such as a wind turbine, but I also wanted it to also look like a plant. ( Signifying a step towards a more eco friendly way of creating electricity. One that is closer to nature. )

The oil that is along the edges of the image is slowly creeping its' way inward and trying to choke out the new threat. ( Signifying the oil companies trying to destroy any threats )

There is also a coal plant at the left hand corner of the image. With the wind turbines in the foreground, I hope to remind people that EVs can be charged using electricity generated without pollution.

I get tired of seeing the same comments over and over from people that argue that EVs just trade off pollution to a higher level ( the coal fired electric plants )
Never mind that the pollution created from a coal plants electricity is overall much cleaner than the pollution created from a clean running car.

Finally, I think I'll call the painting " Turning a new Leaf" It has the name of the car, but also represents a change for the better.
