Now, looking at the two, I find myself thinking,I love the pattern paper that makes up the background in both images, for both the physical reality of the lines and the conceptual one of using an image that is all about making something else. The snake on God's very red chest, and the apple falling from his hand ingive us clear clues as to what this is all about. The stories are strong: at the same time that God is sending the two errant humans out of the garden, he is creating sky, trees, and birds and clouds as well. There is nothing about these two paintings that I don't love, yet they no longer exist except as digital images.

To Keep the Wolf from the Door: to have just enough money to be able to eat and live, A few days ago we received a card from a long time friend. Along with a picture of the family, and a recounting of the year's travels and adventures, it also stated that our friend had been diagnosed with (stage 2) ovarian cancer. Recently, my husband counted four friends who, in the past two years, have been diagnosed and treated for cancers, all serious, including a young, recently married mother diagnosed with breast cancer. On my side, I have a friend's sister who is literally, at death's door, and another friend who died last year of pancreatic cancer.
