When I saw Storm’s Coming this morning, it was thin. Not enough paint. So here’s some more. It is about environmental and political problems, not a religious thing.
More, more
Threat
Continuing to try to make “Storm’s Coming” ominous and threatening, without just painting it solid black. I’m avoiding blue, and the purple is what is threatening me, too, too. After I’d made a goo of all the paints, I went in with apalette knife and made some edges.
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.
Ms. Privilege-Adorable
Skinny as a wraith, plastic boobs, designer handbag & shoes, halo of expensive perfume, she steps on the little people on the way to her jet.
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.

Chaos Landscape
New painting at Art on Depot.
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!
Difficult landscape
The landscape of NC is kinda rough these days.
Landscapes
Here are two paintings, depicting the landscape of NC. Lately, it’s not lovely.
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.
