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.

NC Landscape

The state legislature of North Carolina has shoved a lot of offensive legislation down our throats. Forget jobs and education! Most paintings of the NC landscape show the natural beauty. This painting is not. Named for the toxic NCHB2, I am disgusted.Toxic-5-2

Eyes, portals

For more than a year I have been working with eyes, especially women’s eyes.   This painting on panel has a lot of pastels drawn into it.  Looking forward, inward, outward and with a nod to what came before.

Cloud, Too

Drop by Art on Depot this weekend to see my new paintings of clouds.  Or if not clouds, gobs of cool colors with dolCloud-Toolops of white.

Habitat Auction

Oct. 9, from 5:30 to 8:30 at Frog Level Brewing is the Waynesville Habitat for Humanity Auction.  I’ve donated another dahlia-with-blueone in this series which are called Dahlia.  Our Restore sells these fine quality plywood circles.  I’ve used acrylics and black enamel.  The circle is 8.5 inches across.

Not Clouds
