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.

Haywood County Studio Tour Tomorrow

Do some leaf peeping on your way out to my studio.  Deb Parmele will also be showing in my studio, so you’ll get to see two different artists.

GMO Giraffe, they’re looking for a way to package you nice and neatly.

HCAC Members Show

We missed the opening of the Members Show, due to car trouble.  Ugh!  But made it by there today, 86 N. Main, Waynesville.  Very interesting work.  This piece which is my rant against NC House Bill 2 sold on opening night!NCHB2 blog

Landscapes

Here are two paintings, depicting the landscape of NC.  Lately, it’s not lovely.5-13-16a 5-13-16

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

Monarch Gathering

This is a painting, and the painting issues have been more troublesome on this one. No Photoshop to fix this one!

This is on display at the Haywood County Arts Council Gallery, as part of the Haywood Open Studios tour. Come out into the country to see my studio on Fri. Oct. 23 or Sat. Oct. 24, 10-5. Driving directions are on my website, or on the Tour Maps, available in Waynesville.223-Dandelions
