Michael WhelanEDGEDANCER (2002)
Acrylic on Gessoboard - 28" x 22"
From the End of Nature subset of my gallery work, a cautionary tale, “All good things come to an end...” 1/2
EROSION (1999)
Acrylic on Panel - 32" x 40"
The fourth of my End of Nature paintings. The figure is stranded on a pillar of human folly, looking up to a symbol of technology—the lamppost—for her deliverance from the perils signaled by the oncoming storm. 1/2
ÉMIGRÉ (2006)
Acrylic on Panel - 12” x 12”
A study done at the time I painted END OF NATURE VII, later finished to become a new small painting in its own right. If only she indulged in a little self-examination, she would know that she carries the means to a new beginning on her own shoulders.
THE END OF NATURE III (1998)
Oil on Canvas - 14" x 44"
The third in a series of paintings about our relationship with nature. The people portrayed represent humanity as somewhat oblivious to the support that nature provides for them. 1/3
THE END OF NATURE VII (2005)
Acrylic on Panel - 25" x 40"
Up until this point in my End of Nature series, I had portrayed the people who represent humanity in general as somewhat oblivious to the support that nature was providing for them. 1/2
RIMRUNNER (2011)
Oil - 18” x 28”
A painting in The End of Nature subset of my personal work, which represents humanity as somewhat oblivious to the support that nature provides for them. 1/2
THE END OF NATURE (1998)

UNWINDING (2021)
Acrylic on Gessobord - 10" x 11 ½”
The paintings in The End of Nature series are concerned with our relationship to the environment and how we need to care for it. Here, the young boy takes a moment to just enjoy it. 1/3
