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?blue-corner-blog

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.

New in the Studio

We are displaying more of our work in the studio.  Clocks is one area we both dabble in.  As we were reorganizing the space we had a visitor.  She stayed on the thermometer all Saturday morning.Mantis-in-studioClocks-in-studio

HCAC Members Show

We missed the opening of the Members Show, due to car trouble.  Ugh!  But made it by there today, 86 N. Main, Waynesville.  Very interesting work.  This piece which is my rant against NC House Bill 2 sold on opening night!NCHB2 blog
