This Ode to the New Year of 2022 was written on New Year’s Day. I was still suffering from the many days spent in isolation, and also depressed by the enormous problems our country was facing, and continues to deal with. This painting was done during the turbulent years of a presidency of which IContinue reading “Ode to 2022”

Water and Stone
Water and Stone The digital images from a state far away Shot by lovely daughter How they spent their day A sunny place Filled with rocks and stream Large rounded stones Smoothed by time And water Slender trees Exert their will to live And far away Grey mountains Sit silent, and still If I wereContinue reading “Water and Stone”
Truth, News, and Explosions
On Wednesday, January 6th, my art group was meeting on Zoom. Someone broke in and said, “Trump supporters are invading the capital.” We quickly dismissed the meeting and turned to our TVs to view what was happening. Windows and doors of our capital were being broken, men were climbing walls, confederate flags waved, and tearContinue reading “Truth, News, and Explosions”
Rabbit Emotions
Are you ready to see more Rabbit Art? I looked over my collection and decided that some of them are very appropriate to the times. RABBIT RAGE isn’t a very nice painting, but it may convey some of what I feel about the man who has been furiously tweeting from the white house for theContinue reading “Rabbit Emotions”
Rabbits and Bunnies
I refuse to be labeled as “the rabbit artist”, but that’s what I have become. I hate cutesy objects, and yet, I must have been drawn, for some unknown reason, to the little child’s bunny pull-toy at the estate sale. Furthermore, why did I choose the larger rabbit holding the pail and carrot, with thatContinue reading “Rabbits and Bunnies”
Guns, Guns, and more Guns
One morning, while driving to visit my husband at the nursing home, I noticed a huge crowd at the Civic Center. Cars had filled both parking lots and spilled over into adjacent fields and on to the streets. I looked at the marquee which read: “GUN SHOW.” I slowed down and noticed a man withContinue reading “Guns, Guns, and more Guns”
The Gulf War
Hidden away in the corner of my studio is a large Plexiglas cube with a gas mask inside. To explain about this artwork, one has to look back to the first President Bush and the first Gulf War, called “Operation Desert Storm”. After Iraq invaded Kuwait, a coalition of countries and the United States, invadedContinue reading “The Gulf War”
Red Mountain
Our son once took a trip to Australia. He brought back many photos, including one of Ayers Rock. Mark had moved into a new house in Atlanta and his mother thought that he needed a large painting to “improve” his decor. I decided to paint a red mountain based on the idea inspired by thatContinue reading “Red Mountain”
Mica Mountain
When I was visiting with childhood friends, Mary and Milam, in my home state of Alabama, I mentioned I mentioned a photographic collage technique using mica. Milam, Mary’s husband, said that he had lots of mica on his property, and then he left the room while Mary and I reminisced. After a while he returnedContinue reading “Mica Mountain”
The Search for Resolution
They say that artists must suffer. This painting is evidence of that. I will share with you the various experimental stages it went through in its “Search for Resolution”. It started its life as an abstraction. (I don’t have photos of the first two stages.) But, it seemed that all this “light from the heavensContinue reading “The Search for Resolution”
