Thanks, Again

It has been a year since Hurricane Helene whopped us.  I began this piece then, and have worked on it all year.  Tears, prayer boxes, faces distorted in grief.

Snag

Over a year ago, Gregg and I hit a snag with his health.  Well, a bunch of snags, as Hurricane Helene blew inland 500 mile and knocked the hell out of us.  There is still damage, but we’re over the snag.

Still dealing with Hurricane Helene

An abstract painting may be difficult for others to get into, but is has been necessary for me to deal with the shit from Sept. ’24 to the present.  Hurricane Helene Helicopters is about the chaos of the flooding and high winds. We can hear the helicopters which were bringing aid.  The sound echoes off the mountains even when they weren’t visible.  The boxes are a recurring symbol in my work.  They are prayers.
