Gulf Oil Innocents, 3, Impressionist, '10

12"x12" Acrylic
Unnecessary death in the Gulf... It will be hard to explain to future generations why we allowed this to happen. Damn!

Gulf Oil Innocents, 2, Impressionist, '10

11"x14", Acrylic
I have found that the only way I can get out my anger for the destruction of the Gulf by BP was to paint the true victims.

Gulf Oil The Innocents, 1, Impressionist '10

18"x24", Acrylic
The title for this series comes from a John McCutcheon song that includes the line: "Its always the Innocents who die for the crime!" He was speaking of war, but what else is this crime, but a war on nature? This photograph caught me off guard the first time I saw it... It enraged me to know this beautiful animal is now dead. Damn BP!
