Another painting to add to the Without Hope series. This one reflects the anguish the shrimp farmers are still facing. One farmer reports of, "black spots" that are appearing on his shrimp.
FOLLOWING THE OIL SPILL THAT SAVAGED THE GULF OF MEXICO, WHEN BP'S DRILLING PLATFORM, "DEEP WATER HORIZON" EXPERIENCED A BLOW OUT, I DECIDED TO DO A SERIES IN RESPONSE TO THIS.
THE FIRST PAINTING REFLECTS THE LIVES OF FARMERS ON THE GULF COAST AND AID WORKERS WHO WERE STRUCK BY THE ENORMITY OF THE DISASTER.
