I have put aside New Perspective until I get a new perspective. It has been a challenging painting. I may jinx this one, but it has been much smoother so far. The title is Don’t Be Disappointed. We have been trying to sell part of our property. We have had several offers that have fallen through. I have mixed feelings. This line of encouragement is that things change. As an artist I celebrate change. But my old crab
persona does not.
More than one way
I’ve been working on New Perspective for nine months, a long time for me. I am working from words and experience, not photos.
There is a lot going on that is … involving. Now I am working more closely with Gregg on sculpture. I have worked on 2-d paintings and drawings for a long time, and this third dimension is pushing me around. I represent gravity in my paintings by letting the paint drip. In a sculpture, gravity will literally take me and throw me on the ground. Ouch! That’s how I got involved in making Poly: means many. I am tentative, but I’m getting bolder, more confident. Or so I tell myself.
This relates to this painting New Perspective. This is grappling with my transition into the third dimension. I have worked on it from every vertical direction. Maybe it’s time to put it on the floor? I won’t work on it above my head, too much trouble.
New Perspective, continuing
This is a painting. I am pulling colors and energy from around me. I’ve been striving with this one for months.
Medical Debt Horror
2020 will smack many people with horrible medical debt, no matter if they are insured or not. Trying to deal with it is oh, so …bad. Harassing phone calls and threatening letters, but no solutions. Kill yourself? How do they think you can pay if you do that?
Pardon this interruption
I got a terrible result of my blood test a couple of weeks ago. As everyone knows now, steroids can work wonders. I laid low and the numbers are back to normal for me.
This painting is called Radio Waves. Information coming from outer space?
Pulling Strings
Do you wonder who is pulling strings? I am baffled.
Fleeing, now from tear gas
I have a file on my website that follows the changes to this painting. I have’nt updated it yet, but this seemed relevant.
Feral
This started as a lioness. Is she wrong to raise feral children?
Medical Debt continues
22 million Americans unemployed, and now without health insurance. It’s going to get uglier than this painting!
Medical Debt
I started this painting before the coronavirus pandemic. I have been fighting medical debt collectors for … forever. I can read a bill and know what my insurance covers. Providers are willing to work with you, except when they are wrong. They dig their heels in and hire debt collectors rather than admit that they pay coders minimum wage, and the make errors. Now with millions of Americans losing insurance along with their jobs, medical debt collections will be a growth industry.
