This piece is close to being done. Her hands, the torch, the snake tongues all need work. I can’t stand the way the torch doesn’t overlap the book. Lol. Like I said, it needs some work still. And it needs about two weeks of me just looking at it to see what else it needs.
FYI: Her tears are printed in my blood and the fingerprints on her tablet are blood. So I guess this is mixed media. Putty, acrylic and blood.
Nathanael Chavers has first right of refusal. It was because of him that I realized its importance. It’s probably my most important work to date.
Titled: No longer viable, a cautionary tale ® 2022 Jana’s painted ArtistSecond photo shows my view from my Best Western bed; strange days we are living in.
I started this painting 7 years ago; I had a vision I fear is coming true.
Sitting in front of this painting is daunting. It’s a sad look at the possible decline of my home country.
My skill level back then didn’t allow completion, but I believe I can finish it now. We shall see.
It’s titled “No longer viable” a cautionary tale. We can turn this around if only we would look up. God is in this deal if you want the help.
I accidentally cut myself opening the packaging on my new blade. Believe me, I was not looking forward to cutting myself on purpose. Thank you God. Your timing is always perfect, for today was the day. Lady Liberty needed to be crying tears of blood.
That hurt. So does my heart looking at this painting, but I believe it needs to be said.
This is where I leave it tonight. My own blood all over it. Just as my heart is heavy, this canvas is heavy with plaster.
Shipping it will be spendy. Lol. Just say’n…
Doing this painting hurt my soul. It’s dark, and I’m a light.
Heavy with plaster.
Update: Lady Grace, my dog, tried to clean up the blood spill on the painting.
She’s my little wound care specialist. She tried to extend help to Lady Liberty. We need to take a lesson from her. Lol. But please don’t lick my painting.

It’s not too late to turn our country around. I pray daily for the USA, that her leaders will make wise, selfless, decisions in her regard, and that God has exposed evil for the world to clearly see.
I’m afraid this is where the world is headed. Totalitarianism. Is this what we want? Total annihilation of individuality and freedom? They are sugar-coating this deal to make our youth think it’s a better plan. It isn’t. And if all you elites think you will benefit from this, you won’t. Only a very few, very evil trillionaire, dictator-type rulers will benefit, and I bet you ain’t one of them. It all looks so pretty and correct to lure you in. Change your mind, all of you amazing, creative individuals. We need you now more than ever. Learn tolerance, grace, forgiveness, and integrity, as all are essential elements of love.
