I was pretty amazed to see fireworks exploding over the village sky in Pawling this summer. Brought to mind all sorts of crazy scenarios about explosions and people just going about their business.
My friend, Diana Hartel, is a scientist and an artist. She recently wrote an article about nuclear energy and bombs and their awful consequences. She created a series of beautiful watercolors of explosions to accompany the article. When the U.S. was testing the atom bomb in New Mexico they built towns to test what would happen. Survival towns I believe they called them. Brought this series to mind. I’ll have some printed for ArtEast and for the Merwinsville Hotel show and sale. See more here.
