Hurricane Katrina

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.

Katrina, of course.

This was much more difficult than the tornado paintings, for some reason.  Seems like it needs to be far bigger, also (it’s only 8″x10″ and will be mounted on a larger sheet of baltic birch plywood and framed, just like the tornado paintings).

But not bad for a start. I may work on it some more; I don’t know…
