EMILY WHITE and the AMERICAN COLLECTION

The album is done!! My imagery contributes to the Album as an introduction to the wonderful music! I am so honored to mive in such company!

My painting I named RHAPSODY IN BLUE after the music by George Gerschwin but also after the many, many pigments and mixes in the blues in this composition. And now it is part of a Fabulous recording! Music for the ages!

TEXAS HEAT AND WHACKY WEATHER

A new and improved painting. Actually, I keep adjusting this painting but it is nailed down now. Solved. Cured. Born. It's called TEXAS HEAT/LOST IN CODE". I do keep returning to the theme of seeing people lost in their phones, not noticing the world around them. This painting is 24" x 30" wide. For Sale. Acrylic on canvas. Leave a message!

This image is chosen for PR for the TEXAS WCA exhibit this summer on the coast (the Texas coast).

MARVELOUS MIGRANTS AND CREATING A PAINTING

First I made a drawing then slowly progressed. I liked it but kept adding more monarchs. It is about silly limits on migrations. The planet has seasons. Following the seasons honors the Mother Earth.

BUTTERFLIES AND RIBBONS

The images that keep jumping into my compositions are ribbons and monarch butterflies. I resolve to try some other varieties of bugs but the monarch butterfly's recent promotion to ENDANGERED has inspired me.

ART TALK! Geez

The art talk went well. I got some photos of the event in progress

FRACTURED - NEW WORK

I am getting ready to exhibit some new work that responds to the environmental challenges that are coming out of our impact on nature.

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.
