Back to work

The 14th Annual Fines Creek Bluegrass Jam is over.  Friday was disappointing, but Sat. was good.  Revenues and attendance down from last year, but that was expected.  Unemployment is HIGH in our community, starting with yours truly.   I didn’t sell a single thing.  I was sooo disappointed to not get any support.  But I mentioned it, and FCCA has given me a grant to cover my rent thru the end of the year.  So that was something.

This series deals with Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO).  When people monkey with nature, especially for profit, things don’t look, smell or taste the same.GMO Daylily

less cardinal

My impression this morning was of a Christmas Chicken, no Cardinal.  When something’s not right, add more paint.8-11-11

Sisters

I did this series of red daylilies, in descending size.  After I finished and was thinking of a title, Sisters hit me.  Maybe I’m wrong, I don’t have a sister.in a shadow box8-10-11bBig Sis8-10-11d

more Vision

This puppy’s been hanging around for over a year.  I saw an artist that used smudged fields of white, so I gave it a try.  The lines thru the center of the iris are actual strands of monofilament that I poked thru the canvas.Vision

Genetik

The progression was collage last winter, painting flowers on small canvases in the spring, and now painting on collage.  This one will be primed and the same image of the red daylily will be painted over it.    The idea is that when man starts bioengineering and fiddling with plant genomes in order to corner the market on food production, there are unexpected consequences.Genetik

Vision

This is a piece I started last year.  There are about 30 pieces of monofilament threaded thru the iris.Vision

more Holly

I’m on the fence, about Holly whether to give a recognizable element of a plant, or to go completely abstract.   I don’t think you’d recognize this as a holly bush without the title.
