Carnage diptych

abstract 2021.039	Diptych "acrobats"

A large, abstract diptych, signifying nothing, but most satisfying to paint!

Becky's Diptych, from "the whites" series 

This Triptych is of my three brothers, who during COVID I saw only on ZOOM. So of course, they're taken from the rather poor ZOOM videos. They're named, from left to right:

  
Jeffrey as Uranus, the Magician "brothers as planets series" 

Andy as Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity "brothers as planets series" 

Henry as Mercury, the Winged Messenger "brothers as planets series" 

  
The reference is to Gustave Holst's "The Planets" suite. 

Brothers as Planets

Taken from a film, during a COVID lockdown, of a woman from Tblisi, Georgia, who has left her husband, He wants her back. She doesn't want to go back. And she doesn't. A moment of tension in the film, of a woman rebelling against a sexist, repressive society.

As Seen on TV, the Woman from Tblisi

Ahmaud Arbery was a black man going out for a run, who was killed for the crime of being black. Upsetting? You bet. 

  
I painted this during COVID, hence its title. Pieter Van Laer was a Netherlandish painter who painted Catholic scenes. As painful as flagellation- do they look like the KKK? They should! And why the Bear? Because AA was murdered in Georgia, and I mistakenly thought that bears were college mascots there.

Ahmaud Arbery, or the flagellants (COVID Pieter Van Laer)  

a four-part depiction of a Midwest prairie in early spring, painted in the fields outside my father's home, while father was in the hospital.

Just a still life - a relaxation in the face of turmoil.

bearded irises from "Still Life Finger exercises" 

Another scene from TV, this time The Crown.  Actors, displaying their imagination of real events, further obscured by my imagination in depicting them!

Prince Charles learns of Diana's Infidelities, "As seen on TV Series"  

another abstract - is the blue the sky,  the sea, or something else entirely?  Or just itself?

abstract 2010.040

How can an abstract resemble a landscape?  Or anything?  And what to do if so?  That's in part, the theme behind this painting, and most of my paintings before 2020.

Got off the first canoe from Heaven

An imaginary scene - daffy duck meeting the starlet of "The Little Drummer Girl."  What we see on TV!  Why shouldn't we mash up cartoons with cartoonish movies?  Neither is the truth as we know it, but then, what is?
