I pay a 23% Breast Tax, for a pre-existing condition. 
Gorgon-Muse of Women
This is part of my modern day muses. If necessities cost the same for everyone, how do women live on .77 on the dollar? This is just the beginning of her hair. I lived in Dallas for awhile. This girl is going to have BIG hair.
Mucking with nature
A farmer is the only business person that you interact with three times a day. Giant agro companies force farmers to buy their trade- marked seeds. Here are some ideas of what is pushing the idea very far, in a scary way.
Too pretty
The painting is pretty, too pretty, but not very interesting. So far the additions are temporary, but I’m going to make them permanent. Haven’t thought of a title yet. Digital hostas?
Circle
I need to come up with a snappy title for this piece. It is an interesting thing to work on. The squares grab the paint, and some squares are just painted.
Grids
The QR codes are grid, as are the crossword puzzles I do every day. A grid is a human imposition on nature. The white squares are mat board, one inch squares, glued to the painting. We will see where we go from here!
Book of Clones
I did a series of three collage paintings. They’re 7″x7″ because we cut a 2×8 into pieces. I stretched canvas over them. Most of the elements of this piece are experimental. They will be part of a show of my collages at the Haywood County Public Library in Nov.
Back to work
The 14th Annual Fines Creek Bluegrass Jam is over. Friday was disappointing, but Sat. was good. Revenues and attendance down from last year, but that was expected. Unemployment is HIGH in our community, starting with yours truly. I didn’t sell a single thing. I was sooo disappointed to not get any support. But I mentioned it, and FCCA has given me a grant to cover my rent thru the end of the year. So that was something.
This series deals with Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO). When people monkey with nature, especially for profit, things don’t look, smell or taste the same.
Genetik
The progression was collage last winter, painting flowers on small canvases in the spring, and now painting on collage. This one will be primed and the same image of the red daylily will be painted over it. The idea is that when man starts bioengineering and fiddling with plant genomes in order to corner the market on food production, there are unexpected consequences.
Unease
I added the center panel today. sorry the photo’s blurry.
