POLITICS? IN ART

This painting made heat when it was new. I mean some people objected to the metaphor(s).

The fellow who bought this made serious moves on me and I objected. Actually it was scary but with help I got rid of him. Then he told a close friend of mine that he had cut a big hole in this. It was 59" x 42" so my guess is that it is history. That it doesn't exist anymore. To me, it was political and philosophical image. The women, by their hairdos and outfits are Navajo, White and Hopi. Working together. Then there is the ancient art of weaving in a junk yard with a computer on the desk sampling old and new technologies, together. There are more bits. The pattern being woven and the "floor" patterns all have significance. I have made a new painting recently that is also making heat. It is titled I.C.E. DANCING WITH MIGRANTS. The migration of monarch butterflies is happening now. Autumn.

PACKED, CROWDED AND LOUD! but FUN!!!

Lots of people came and there were sales!

Art84 is a wonderful group. I sold a small one. This is a mix of realism and fantasy. Insects are often fantastic! Dancing with the ladybugs is definitely one of my dreams.

SHOW IS UP! ON THE WALLS!

As the exhibit was being hung an old friend, a regular from ART84's events, bought a painting! So they made a new card and rearranged the show and it is a GO!

SAVE A DANCE, AN EXHIBIT

I have four paintings in this exhibit with Art84 at Cannon Coffee. It's a coffee shop so it is open a lot. Seven to 5, M-F and 8 - 5 on the week-ends!!

HOMEGROWN CARDS

I love practicing with ideas and forms and colors on cards. Postcards and greeting cards.

EXCITING ART GALA COMING SOON!

ICE DANCING WITH MIGRANTS

There is an article in the New Yorker about this new color discovered or invented called "Olo". Science says that people can't see it. There is a lot that people can't see! I love color and one thing I have noticed is that people (non-visual-artists) cannot identify so very much of the color available in this world!! This is a new painting with layers of glazes and mixes of color. This photograph of painting is limited, too. Is this painting political? I think it is.
