Acrylic paint, charcoal, ink on unstretched canvas 20x16 11/9/2016 When I woke up this morning on 11/9/16 I kept thinking, …. What is happening…..what will happen…..and I saw images in my mind's eye of horrible events occurring in our country.

Acrylic paint, paper on canvas 29x20 inches 3/31/2017 An image of the Statue of Liberty on a small boat, in the midst of a huge Storm. The ocean raging, about to swallow up the tiny boat/coffin and plunge it to the depths. I chose a decayed and discarded blank canvas for this painting. I found this canvas on the sidewalk, in a pile of discarded junk.

Charcoal/ pastel, acrylic paint on canvas 29x20 inches 2/2/2017 On this canvas I started with patches of bright colors, the center left open. In the center I used charcoal and chalk pastels to mark up the space - conveying a feeling of chaos, loss of control, but the forcefulness of anger. Then I went in with black paint, globbed up with other colors, and covered the colorful patches. Overall, I wanted to convey the anger and terror I felt at the heavy, opaque curtain that was descending.

Acrylic paint, paper, charcoal on unstretched canvas 20x16 inches Men on horses ride in to attack me as I lay sleeping under a tree. Half asleep, I see they are throwing or shooting things at me. When I look out, to my horror I see they have thrown big rats at me. I try to stay hidden under my thin blanket, but feel stricken. I hear them ride off - I look out from under the blanket to see the rats have turned into big snakes and they are slithering away from under my blanket. I'm terrified.
