I painted this during the week after the Des Moines women’s march last Saturday. I just felt like doing something to remember the day in my mind. Here is what came out this time.

I thought I would get this posted last week, but time ran out on me. This is the “finished” version of the “unfinished” one I posted during the summer. Not sure I’m quite satisfied, and I feel like continuing with it at times. But for now, I’m done and it’s done.

This is another layered over layers painting. Not much else to say today.

This began as something much different. It was about divisions between groups and the quandary of how to move forward. Then last week happened and I first scribbled black marker over and between the blobs of color. But I didn’t like how it turned out (the week or the painting). So I scraped more paint over the painting, and this is the result. Not sure I like it all that much better, but….

This is just pure moving-paint-around kind of stuff in an attempt to find a few moments of zen in a difficult week.

This involves layers over layers of scraping, brushing, and otherwise applying acrylic paint to paper.

This is a close-up of a beautiful red cabbage we bought last week from Grinnell Heritage Farm at the downtown farmer’s market. After Matt cut into it he called me over to see the beauty. I grabbed my phone and took a photo.

Hope this is posted in time for the weekly newsletter!

Another exhortation in a “healing power card.”
