Grumpy

BP Can Go Eff Itself! 
The news headlines about the Gulf Oil Disaster have been weighing me down for weeks and I didn't realize how much it had dominated the news until I sorted through the stack of newspapers I use for protecting surfaces in my art.  There were so many heart-wrenching headlines and I got more and more pissed off, so I tore them all out and figured I'd process them somehow.  At the same time, I had some remnant acrylic paint that kind of looked like the earth from up in space - green forest, blue water, and such.  I had been mulling it over with the intention of using it in some abstract or another. One thing led to another and ... Voila!  I think I feel better!
