On a drive through six states, my husband and I were surprised to find this stunning chapel in the woods in the northwest corner of Arkansas.  While we sat in the warm, peaceful interior, snow fell quietly outside.  It was the unexpected highlight of our trip.

SDED-7, 08/14/2019.
Acrylic on canvas over plywood, 24 x 20 in (61 x 51 cm).
Today, number 7 of my SDED/Porture series was just finished. Finished is a loose term (they are never finished, but I have to draw the line somewhere, and today is as good as any). The Richie Norton simplicity thing went out the window: it was so much to say! I felt that my 2D/3D slice needed a story... and it became a short novel! The dynamic between the two to three dimensions is again enhanced with trompe l'oeil sections in order to make the transition both easier and intriguing in order to finish the story. The 3D element is born out of the original flat surface of the canvas and is adorned with a fake third dimension.

Scream Of The Butterflies. 36" x 36" acrylic on canvas This painting deals with Pesticides and air pollution. Painting by Laura Dumm after a sketch and discussion by Gary Dumm
As we poison insects food supply, we also poison our own. Pesticides are welcomed for making plants insect resistant but the resulting adverse consequences to multiple spaces including our own is problematic. Creating pesticide-reisistant plants appears to be a good idea until it isn't.
