How Can Art Bring Clarity To A Epic Tragedy?From The Dawn Of Our Species, Artists Have Been Responding To Events In Their WorldArtist Reaction to BP Oil SpillPosted By Angeline-Marie on Jun 11, 2010 Since the oil spill began, my anger, frustration, and pain as been translated into abstract landscapes influenced by media photos of the oil spill and surrounding areas.
Since April 26, six days since the leak began, I have completed eight art works. More art works are in various stages of completion. My clients and followers are asking "where are the happier, tropical paintings?" I cannot do those paintings right now, because every minute at the beaches I love feel like another minute saying "good-bye."
Thank you for your blog post. It does encourage me to continue, even if the main focus of my work is not on the wildlife.
