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.

Total hip replacement

About four months ago I got my hip replaced.  I’d had to wait two years, for other health problems.  I’m doing better, but three hours in my studio is my limit, now.  But oh, how much more energy when I’m not in constant intense pain!

Broken Fishing Lines

This small painting has monofilament lines embedded into the surface.  This is a problem in our oceans.  On show at HCAC Small works show.broken-fishing-lines-blog

New series

Lots of reasons that I have not posted in a long time.  I am doing a series which have facial elements.  There are a lot of things that I’m wondering about.   Here is WTF #33.

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.

Map?

This started as a drawing on kraft paper.  Then chalk and paint butted in.  Not a landscape, not a map.  Not a drawing, not a painting.  But I am here!

You are here.
You are here.

Infusion

Tomorrow, 10-16 is my last (REALLY) infusion for ITP.  I do not have cancer, but most of the other people getting infusions do.  It is fraught with emotions.IV

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.

Nature disturbed

I’ve been working on these.  The foam flower has given me the most trouble!  The praying mantis’s have been interesting.  One is on two canvases, the swath down the middle is the mounting board, not part of the painting.  The other one is on a panel.  So far, I struggle more with acrylic on canvas, than on panels.  But the canvases were just sitting there!Susan Livengood painting acrylic, canvas 7-23-14b 7-23-14c
