Splenectomy

In 2016 I needed a new hip.  I got my spleen removed instead, to cure Chronic ITP.  That didn’t work.  Lots of my paintings with ovals represent platelets, or the lack of.  The 2018 painting ,ala, Frida Kahlo, is of that surgery.

Alonso Davis

In a summer session at the San Antonio Art Institute(now gone)  Alonso Davis challenged me.  Do you want to think of yourself as an artist, or a housewife?  Made me mad, so I painted Dogs of Hell.  After he set us up to paint a mural (on a barber shop wall)  I designed, helped paint, and finished the 10’x20′ mural, that stayed there for ten years.    I chose artist.  Thanks, Alonso Davis, west coast muralist.

Working, at long last!

I had Shingles and kidney infections last fall.  Gregg almost chopped his thumb off in Nov.  I was in self imposed quarantine thru flu season, because of no spleen and suppressed immune system.  April I had my hip replaced, so NOW we are getting some work done.  Gregg just built the painting rack, stripedy thing on wheels for me.  Now to organize the Gallery (also in Fines Creek gym) to showcase both of our work.  Gregg’s sculptures are in the middle, today.
