Here are pictures of most of my pieces from the Netroots Nation/Texas Kaos show.
Art Opening of Netroots Nation/Texas Kaos After Party & Art Exhibit
What a great show! My large piece “What Have We Become?” was prominently featured on the main wall and was big hit with the Netroots Nation folks. One guy even gave me a huge hug when he found I was the artist of that piece.
I had my 5 paintings of nuclear bombs in this show, along with the piece mentioned above and a image transfer/encaustic piece of “Chernobyl.”
There were 6 other artists in this show with great and varied work. I thought I took more pictures than I actually did (that usually seems to be be the case!). As it turned out, we were enjoying the opening so much, the party lasted well past closing time.

I had wanted to complete more of my planned large series of atomic bomb paintings done in time to apply to a local show dealing with war. I’ve got only 5 done now, and these last two need a little tweaking, but for now, here they are:

I suppose that sounds more like a political statement than one on art, but as I’m working on a large series of paintings of nuclear bombs, it really is a statement about my art.
I envision painting about 100 paintings of nuclear bombs, which would be just a drop in the bucket compared to how many nuclear bombs exist on our planet today.
OK, so it’s a little political, too, but that’s not what I’m here to talk about.
