Local artist Oriole Farb Feshbach spent much of her career depicting nature, especially light, sky, and space. Star-crossed, with its rainbow cross-hatched by darker lines, is no exception. At first glance, the image seems to straightforwardly depict the sky, but small circles, almost like air bubbles floating throughout, suggest an underwater scene. And what about those darker lines? Is the rainbow trapped behind them? Or are they merely a passing flock of birds or a patch of seaweed, obstructing our view for just a moment?
