Listen to the Women, MeToo

: Draft #4 Listen to the Women

: Double enhanced foil

: Modified blue foil

I have been struggling with this second in the series “Some of the Women”: it seems to be resisting me! I want to give the faces life, energy & the desired expressions!!!

And I am so sad, so concerned for all the women who have spoken up about past abuse. Far too many of these women have been disrespected & belittled for their effort. Women need to be heard, need a strong voice, and need to be listened to!

Getting back to work: a good start on “Some of the Women II”. A bit blotchy & rough at present, and maybe too dark now? TBD!

Travels

Posted on October 19, 2018 by ptartistOctober 22, 2018

We took the “long” route to Sol Duc Falls (from the campground), but I regret that we did not get to Lunch Lake! No idea if it is beautiful, but with a name like that!!! Well!

Last image is from Kalaloch Beach: we stayed two nights in this excellent campground.

All the Women

Sketching today, more about the recent news … and “All the Women”.

Can They Listen?

Posted on October 5, 2018 by ptartistOctober 5, 2018

As this painting has evolved, the title has changed from “Can We Listen” to “Can They Listen?”. The finished color palette of the painting (at left) is so “white guys in business suits” that the figures are no longer “we”, but rather “them”. The figures have now come to represent so many of the predominately white male U.S. senators currently in the news.

I did not set out with quite this plan, but I have been listening to the news, and thinking of the Senate Judiciary Committee members as I created the painting. Some all the Republican Senators who will soon vote on Donald Trump’s poorly behaved Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, have climbed onto my “canvas”.
