Omega Minus is one of a series of three paintings I did which revolve around the theme of Nuclear Energy and Sub Atomic Particles.

The first observation of the Omega Minus particle, a representation of which is depicted in the upper right hand portion of this painting, occurred at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1964. This momentous discovery removed any remaining doubts as to the validity of the Quark Theory of matter and signaled the birth of a new era of understanding. It also provided the initial inspiration for this painting.
