I started this when I had health care ins. Now I don’t and the FEAR is mind killing. I wish the jerks in our govt. would get off their high horses and think about Americans, not reelection.
The moon needs work
You may not believe this, but I can see things in these photos that I miss in the studio. Since I’m using a flash it highlights things. Instead of glowing, my moon looks like it’s having a solar flare. So I know what this afternoons project it. 
NYT article
On Feb. 14 Roberta Smith wrote an interesting article in the NYT. One paragraph resonated. “What’s missing is art that seems made by one person out of intense personal necessity, often by hand. A lot but not all of this kind of work is painting, which seems to be becoming the art medium that dare not speak its name where museums are concerned.”
I was wondering why art was now a manufacturing medium. Hooray for paint!
river
There’s snow in places that don’t normally get snow. The global climate isn’t all that’s changing. I’ve always liked the patterns of the topography when I fly.
Tree of Life
Sorry for the shiny photo. The panel is 80″ tall, and hard to light, so I used the flash. The tree is progressing, roots on Earth, reaching into space.
Several
I work on several paintings at once. Some need to dry and some need time to percolate in my mind. “Vision” has monofilament running thru it. The socket is not part of the art! River is part of the spirals.

tree
The tree is thrusting into space. If birds evolved from dinosaurs, what will humans evolve into? Will the trees evolve so they can grow into space?
Earth
I lightened the Earth and tried to make the tree hold together while still descriing the spirals. 
Tree of Life
More spirals. I need to emphasize the edge of the world at the bottom. Would different colors make this more appealing? Yeah, to who? Am I once again relying more on color than structure? Are my paintings skeletonless?
River
I’m stuck on spirals. Besides DNA, they describe paths, like a rivers.
