Tangled Web

There’s a quote, which I did not look up, about tangled web we weave.  But the POTUS has his own problems.  This is more about dealing with health insurance and the webs they weave, and their agenda to deceive.

Separation

This idea started as a protest of separating children from their families, as a law enforcement tool.   But there is a giant Balsam fir in the middle, the kind that are dying out in WNC.  So your guess is as good as mine.  It is a painting not a representation.

This began as horizontal.  The idea was environmental decay or harm.  It is done on Lenox paper, which I gesso.   I don’t know if the gesso or the paper or the tape has changed, but now the paper warps.  I still find it a good starting place for some ideas.

Ominous Enough?

Storm’s Coming,  has more paint.  Does it seem ominous and threatening?  If you’ve been hit by a fast moving storm, you know that it’s powerful.

More paint.  I tried to put in layers, but then I messed them up.  Maybe painting is straightforward for others, but I struggle.  I enjoy the struggle, and feel that I’ve learned some things along the way.
