This is a painting. I am pulling colors and energy from around me. I’ve been striving with this one for months.
New Perspective, continuing
New Perspective
I have been collaborating with Gregg on his sculptures. I forget that what I draw or paint may not stand up or intersect in reality. I worked on this, trying to think more sculpturally. I’m still more interested in color and paint.
Day in the studio
The weather here has been too cold, snowy and wet to get to the studio much. I’m horrified what Texans have had to put up with. At least I expect cold weather here. And we are serviced by the Haywood EMC Co op.
So, I was able to do some painting today. This was started last year, but I thought it was not complex enough. Radio Signals.
Medical Debt Horror
2020 will smack many people with horrible medical debt, no matter if they are insured or not. Trying to deal with it is oh, so …bad. Harassing phone calls and threatening letters, but no solutions. Kill yourself? How do they think you can pay if you do that?
She Persisted
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.
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.
Pulling Strings
Do you wonder who is pulling strings? I am baffled.
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.
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.
