We only have a week to go. It is already Day 23 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge; my offering is “Pulse” (watercolour, 5″x5″).

As a xerographist, my work tends to be, almost exclusively, representational. The 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge offers me an opportunity to revisit abstract painting as an alternate voice. This image reminds me of an EKG readout, a record of the beating of a heart. Nearly 3 years ago, I rushed my young(ish) husband to the hospital fearful that he might be having a heart attack. We were relieved to find out is was a common arrhythmia. Although scary, it isn’t really harmful. I remember those brief moments when I thought I might lose him, my stomach in my throat. It felt like this piece.
