I’ve been dealing with a great deal of loss recently. My cousin who I was very close to died in August, my mom died after a 2 year battle with Pancreatic Cancer in November, my grandma in December and now my other grandma, who was 98 years old, died this week. I’m sorry to miss you all tomorrow but I am attending her funeral. This loss is seeping into my work not surprisingly.
Here are a few more paintings I have been working on. I’ve been thinking about the architecture during and after storms. The shadows, ghosts, and memories of a place that used to be, or in between being inhabited and abandoned. Continuing to look at Puerto Rico-Maria, New Orleans-Katrina, and New Jersey-Sandy. I find it strange that I visit a place and it has some catastrophic storm afterwards.

My next part of a “stack” which I will work on tonight. So far I have 2 sets of “stacks” I’d like to get one more stack of 3 stumps.
These are previous pieces that I decided to work on some more-They could hang on a wall vertically from top to bottom with the bark piece in the center.
