This is part of the Fury’s series, called “What the Hell Happened?” She’s demanded attention off and on since last fall. I think I’m getting her together. The snow pix are experiments with dripped enamel underpainting. Also, I am working on a grant proposal. Guess it’s rude to mention it, since I’m not ready to post anything. RASPBERRY! So I’m rude, or disorganized.
drippy paint
If you’ve seen a Jackson Pollock painting in real life you’d know how seductive they are. These are some experiments with drips.
Snow and rocks, again
Snow symbolizes tranquility and peace for me. I love to hike in the snow. Painting it is proving to be not so peaceful!
Snow means tranquility
I’m 
trying to capture the emotion of a rock in snow. It should be peaceful, but I keep getting all energetic and colorful.
Talisman
Photographers, don’t gag, I know it’s crooked. But seeing it in photo helps me. 
artists’ books
I saw a call for a show of artists’ books, at Asheville Book Works. It has gotten me interested in the subject. Some of the samples in the book I checked out from the library seem to deal more with origami and pretty paper. Books have always been important to me. I’m thinking about what I would want to put into a book. I find it especially intriguing because all of the various crafts that I’ve learned could be used in making a book. Hey, who knew all of this was leading somewhere?
We got four inches of rain, hooray. WNC is still in drought conditions.
expiration date
Does a talisman have an expiration date? My biopsy came back clean!
I’ve done 2 collages and one piece that is derivative of that work. The second collage glared, so you’ll have to use your imagine. I layered transparencies of the rainhat over prints of it.
What’s the difference between hope and faith?
For me faith is the foundation, hope is the added extra.
rhythm
I’m working on the rhythm of this piece.
Talisman progress
If anyone cares, I do not work in any order. After doing Blue Cross I realized that Talisman needed more work. The panels are hollow core doors, 80″ high and two 18″ panels joined, for a total width of 36″. It’s sitting on quart paint cans. I guess the tripod wasn’t level, the painting is! NEWS FLASH … no biopsy tomorrow. SNAFU.
