"Sea Leveling" A Siren Call
“Sea Leveling” 24 X 36”, archival Artefex Panel and Golden Pigments
I wonder what the moon things of our earthly pursuits? It’s easy to envision the moon’s view of the earth: beautiful, other-wordly, spinning. Look closer, however, and there are changes to see: the seas rising, shorelines changing, existential threats to life on earth. This is a siren call to look far beyond the gorgeous planet, understand what’s happening and then do something.
8 X 16”, unframed on Ray Mar archival canvas and board.
"Nebula 2019" by C. Twomey
It's definitely fall now - we're going to get a frost tonight. In advance of fall, I hate the thought of it. The lower temperatures, the dark - but once it's actually fall, it's spectacular. The bugs are gone, the sky is an incredible cerulean blue - and the nights; so crisp.
This painting is about the nights. I can look up at the sky and sense the universe; the stars, the planets and the enormity of it all. This nebula, or an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases, hovers in the sky with the richest of colors and blues.
So fall is inevitable. I've learned to embrace it, and this is an example of that.
SpaceX Launch No.1, Unmanned or Unwomaned, March, 2019, 2:49 a.m.
12X12”, acrylic on archival board, available.
I was supposed to go to the launch but it got complicated with the timing and the dogs, so my husband went. It was wonderful to experience the launch vicariously and watch the launches video stream.
Good grief, the power, the sound, the blinding light. That hundreds of people would be there at 2 - something in the morning was just incredible. The flight will be manned in July; maybe I’ll try again.
From SpaceX:
”At 2:49 a.m. EST on March 2, SpaceX launched Crew Dragon’s first demonstration mission from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This test flight without crew on board the spacecraft is intended to demonstrate SpaceX’s capabilities to safely and reliably fly astronauts to and from the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.”
