"Pro-Death", by Harry Saffold Jr describes the vivid reality that the liberty and rights that most Americans rally and vote for appears to be slipping away from them, adding that all that Americans continue to cast ballots for seems to be endangered. Thus, setting  up the next generation to believe, to vote and to hope for change. 

Craft

This 24.5x34 inch quilt was created without using a published pattern. I thought of the idea, inspired by a friend's theme for her son's nursery, hence the title "Paynter's Mountain". This machine-stitched quilt is made with 100% cotton fabrics with some hand quilting.

People throughout the world have been concerned by the mysterious disappearances, beginning in November of 2015, of five booksellers from a Hong Kong shop that sells material that some consider is in conflict with the mainland Chinese government. The last man disappeared on December 30, 2015. Some believe the men are being detained. This painting has been done in support of them and of the people of Hong Kong. The central image is a wilted white orchid, since an orchid appears on the Hong Kong flag, a symbol of harmony. The painting began as a collage of newspaper stories mounted on canvas and then over-painted in watercolor and oil. My hope is to raise awareness of the plight of "the disappeared" as we hope for their safe return.

This oil painting was created by me with the permission of Arturo who was a worker that did a job for us at our home. He was so stunning visually that I asked him if I could paint a portrait of him and he agreed. I am truly thankful to him, as I am so very pleased with the outcome of my painting.

Coming Through the Storm

Harsh Winter Storms blow in fast on the East Coast, where the Northern Woodlands – Pequot Tribes live. The men range miles into the mountains, up into forests, hunting deer to keep their family warm and fed, but when the frequent New England storms came on, they were often caught out, miles from home, sheltering through bitter nights through the Blizzard.

Each little family survived the winter in a circular Wetu, built to represent the ‘circle of life’. Small villages of Wetus clustered together through bitter, snowy winters. Families also, waited through these storms with fear. Wetus survive hurricanes, and ‘Nor-Easters, even blown nearly flat by the winds. Missing their Father, low on food, low on firewood, they would await their Father’s homecoming. Here, after a bitter, dark night, the Father returns down the mountain through the snowy drifts. His family runs to meet him.
