I do not normally work small but I continue to support the Haywood County Arts Council (HCAC) by participating in this show that runs Nov. and Dec. The recent large works that I have done about damage to our environment have moved down to these 8″x10″ canvases.

Landsfall

Photos of Earth from space are fascinating. This is one of my own versions.

Progress

I have a mantra. “This is a painting, not a ….(fill in the blank.) Because I forget! This storm cloud is getting to be a painting. Now I live with it awhile to see if it’s done (can’t just stick a fork in it!)

Where am I?

I hope the scope of this threat of a storm coming is overwhelming. I’ wouldn’t even show up in scale with the mountains,

Storm’s Coming

A local farmer dropped by my studio today, just as I was starting this painting. I was very loosely laying in orange swirls. His question was whether I had a plan, or was just painting. The answer is both. We’ve had lots of big thunderstorms this summer. The clouds before the rain are dynamic, to say the least. Are the clouds wilder because of global warming? Is everything just fine, politically and environmentally? I’m pretty sure there’s a storm coming.

I hope to post pix of this painting in progress. First is sketch in chalk on brown paper. The painting is acrylic on a gallery wrapped canvas 36″x24″. I like to paint around the wrapped edges, avoiding frames. So BT, I hope this helps you get what I’m trying to do. I do not blame your skepticism that it will turn into anything. But as a farmer, you probably get the idea of continuing to try.
