This has been a hell of a year. This is a self portrait, using wood dyes, on paper. The lose of control with the dyes mirrors my frustration.
She Persisted
Deforestation
I live in a rain forest, but nothing like a jungle in South America. Yet, I can see the devastation caused
by clearing the land. This is a new technique, using Keto dye on plywood, as well as paint and charcoal.
Pardon this interruption
I got a terrible result of my blood test a couple of weeks ago. As everyone knows now, steroids can work wonders. I laid low and the numbers are back to normal for me.
This painting is called Radio Waves. Information coming from outer space?
Pulling Strings
Do you wonder who is pulling strings? I am baffled.
Out of the Blue
A clue from a crossword puzzle that we were doing. The answer is sudden. I don’t know if the COVID virus qualifies, but it feels like it. To balance out the craziness I am using a weed in a field near my home. It is not stressed out.
Dandelions Don’t Care
Living in a rain forest, when all it does is rain, has it’s drawbacks. At least it isn’t snow.
Dandelions don’t care about politics
I love to paint. It banishes all the crazies outside, and leaves me a little peace.
Fleeing, now from tear gas
I have a file on my website that follows the changes to this painting. I have’nt updated it yet, but this seemed relevant.
Feral
This started as a lioness. Is she wrong to raise feral children?
A drop in CO2 levels
The pandemic has shown how much CO2 humans create in “normal” times. I don’t think closing the world will work, but there is room for improvement.
