RIBBON OF LIFE, THE SHOW

Lydia Street Gallery made the cards for this exhibit. It is quite designed and formatted. When I make cards they are straightforward or otherwise, boring. I don't play with the layers and such. NEVERTHELESS, the show is coming up! Yea!!! A party on Friday night, 7 - 10 PM!! Ten at Night!! That's a stretch for me.

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY SALT-DOME SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This painting won a competition for a public art. It is going to be framed and fixed up and will hang in the new STEM building in Northeast San Antonio. My fascination with the geothermal energy possibilities of salt domes comes from my brother Russ's work on this technology. Russell has left the stage but maybe some engineer or curious person will be inspired by this painting and solve the challenges in utilizing this gift from the earth.

REWORKING, RESURRECTING AND RENOVATING A PAINTING

This is a painting of that moment when a person graduates to the next plane of existance. It just didn't jive. Just didn't dance. Just didn't tell it. Just didn't! Then! I see at last. Reduce. Edit. That's the ticket. It Worked!!! Here's the resolved image.

BEES OF UKRAINE- updated

This is a re-paint of an old painting. An old, rather dreary self portrait that was just to experiment with. It is painted on a board which I don't think is exactly square. Ah-ha Malevich's out-of-

square white square !! But it is a heart felt homage to courage. Amazing courage. Of bees and those people in Ukraine. I worked on this painting some more. The larger bee works better in the composition.

UKRAINE'S SUNFLOWERS AND BLUESKY

The courage of the Ukrainians resisting that brutal dictator doesn't make sense. What a surprise.Ubiquitous sunflowers have become a stirring symbol of freedom.
