Miracle of Hope I copyright 2010 by Dave Putnam


This is the first painting in a series of three. It depicts the beginning of a battle within a single human cell between the molecules of protease inhibiting drugs (blue dots) and the molecules of HIV protease enzymes (black dots). The blue dots have just breached the cell wall and are spreading out inside the cell, engaging and destroying the black dots. The blue dots are being transported by the watery appearing colors of red and yellow, the human body working in concert with the drugs.
On Wednesday painting II goes up on this blog and Thursday painting III. You will need to look at all three in sequence to get the full effect.
