This painting is from last year’s flooding in TX. 
The Wall

Other extreme
495000 was the count after everything they threw at me in the hospital, early this month. Up from 6000 platelets. Norm is 300000. Blood, we’re working on it. Painting is good!
Broken Fishing Lines
This small painting has monofilament lines embedded into the surface. This is a problem in our oceans. On show at HCAC Small works show.
Haywood Arts Council Show
All summer there were floods. This is one of five paintings in the Small Works Show.
6000 Platelets
Some paintings I struggle with. This one came fast and furious.
Blue Corner
This is one of five of my paintings on show at the Haywood County Arts Council Small Works Show, thru Dec. There are many artists represented. Which one is your favorite?
Series of paintings
My ITP went kaboom last Tues. and landed me in the hospital, again. As we try to get a handle on the malady, I am trying to understand it through paintings. There are three elements that I’m going to focus on. Platelets (that may or may not look like pickles), Antibodies, and my Immune Response ( IR). Short explanation of the problem is that my IR detects antibodies on my platelets, and throws out everything! Normal platelet level is 300,000. Last Wed. mine were down to 6,000. Bleeding is a big concern! This is not a medical illustration, but a learning journey.
Haywood County Studio Tour Tomorrow
Do some leaf peeping on your way out to my studio. Deb Parmele will also be showing in my studio, so you’ll get to see two different artists.
GMO Giraffe, they’re looking for a way to package you nice and neatly.
