Expression of Hope copyright 2010 by Dave Putnam


Expression of Hope is part of a series that so far includes eight paintings. The series is built around three paintings: Miracle of Hope I, II, III. The Miracle of Hope triptych will reside in the Stanford Positive Care Clinic after an unveiling party at our house/gallery in Woodside Aug. 27. The Positive Care Clinic is one of the world's premier HIV research and treatment facilities. The series is dedicated to the idea that protease inhibiting drugs have given tremendous hope to people who have contracted HIV-AIDS. Each painting expresses that idea in one way or another. The painting in today's blog is very different from the other seven; it uses the image of stylized white doves in flight to trigger an iconic response. I will talk about the other paintings for the rest of August.
