Just finished this piece yesterday. It came about

Just finished this piece yesterday. It came about while thinking about the war in Ukraine. I have a few titles in mind but none I have settled on. I thought I would put it out there if you can suggest one or two of your own. I’m often surprised at what people can see in a painting, things I never imagined. #ukrainewar #tanks #music #piano #room #villa #politicalart #painting

The US this week surpassed 1 million Covid deaths.

The US this week surpassed 1 million Covid deaths. This the highest number of any country in the world. Embarrassing for a so-called developed country. Unfortunately Covid became another issue to be included in the ongoing culture wars and division in the US. We would have had many fewer cases and deaths if people had placed more faith in real medical experts and not been seduced by a misplaced sense of personal freedom and crack pot conspiracy theories. I’m saying this because I have many family members and friends who are nurses and medical workers. They have seen firsthand the reality of so many sad outcomes. This painting is titled “Death leading the people” it was inspired by the famous Delacroix painting “Liberty leading the people” which you can see in the last photo. #covid_19 #pandemic #covidvaccine #conspiracytheories #politicalart #painting #delacroix #libertyleadingthepeople

“The Causeway” 2019. It’s Earth Day. Started

“The Causeway” 2019. It’s Earth Day. Started in 1970, it was created as a day to honor, appreciate and protect the earth which has given us and every living creature on the planet our very lives and sustenance. Awareness of our damage to the planet has grown and action is beginning to correct it but we are falling way behind on what needs to be done to turn things around. The time for an environmental “moonshot” is now before it’s too late. This painting is a metaphor for the road we are traveling down. We are already seeing environmental refugees in many parts of the world. For this painting I chose to depict white middle-class Americans in the same predicament. The earth recognizes no political boundaries. It is one giant interconnected living thing. What we do to it positive or negative will eventually affect us all. #earthday #climatechange #environment #climaterefugees #tornados #hurricane #politicalart #painting

“To Each His Own” 2001. I painted this a while back with the intention of it being a visual metaphor for internal psychological storms. Now with climate change getting more severe it seems like it can also be seen in the literal sense. #toeachhisown #tornado #storm #itscoming #toyourhouse #climatechange #landscape #painting
