Recording reality

This 48" x 36" piece was recently in a show featuring work that expressed the artist's view of America today. Mine is titled " Recording Reality" . Each of the red stripes records one or more mass shootings as well as deaths that have occurred in the detention camps,at the southern border. The white stripes record some of the environmental regulation cancellations or rollbacks by this administration. There is more, but I won't force it on you.

Here are a couple more from 

my abstract conversation series. 

This piece is in a current show
"The Aesthetic of Our National Identity"
in Oak Park, Il.
Quite a thought provoking show.

There is an occasional life drawing in my days 

but mostly my work has become abstracted figures. 

These are paintings that begin as an abstract painting,

with no intention other than color choice. Once I am 

satisfied with the abstract I look to see if anyone is in there. 

Here are just a few....

Been gone for quite a while and now I can't figure out how this works any more! I can't access my photo gallery to post new paintings and I have barely been able to post this! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe I'll be back tomorrow...if I can figure this out.

Well it’s July of 2019 now. My work has really changed.
