Coral Reef 4 by Marcy Brennan


Coral Reef 4 - 20" x 20" x 2" - oil and cold wax on cradled birch panel - $950

This is the fourth in a series of four oil and cold wax paintings on cradled birch panels. In working this series, I returned to my love of the colors of the waters that surround us where my husband and I live on beautiful Hutchinson Island, Florida. In working the final stages of the paintings, I began adding corals to the blues on two of the pieces, and as I added some textures to the pieces, they reminded me of underwater coral, thus the name for the series.

Rock on for Ryan


Today's post isn't about art, but about family, specifically my grandson, Ryan.

My daughter Stephanie and her husband Joe Duffy have a terrific son (my grandson), Ryan.  He's 17, loves classic rock, video games, and playing the drums. 

He's also been fighting hard for 17 years to live a normal life.  Ryan was born with a rare genetic birth defect MPS II - Hunter's Syndrome (http://mpssociety.org/mps-diseases/).   

Ryan lives with his loving parents in Port St Lucie, FL.  Stephanie works in the restaurant business and Joey is a Martin County Firefighter.  One of the rituals of living with Hunters is weekly infusions of medication via a port in his chest.

On June 4th, during a procedure to surgically implant a new port, Ryan suffered complications that stopped his breathing.  He was revived and remains in ICU at Miami Children's Hospital (http://www.mch.com/).  It now looks like it will be a long, tough road for Ryan and his family. 

Stephanie and Joey have taken time off from their jobs and are living at his beside as they wait for Ryan to awaken from his medically induced coma.  In the meantime, bills and expenses are mounting for the Duffy family. 

One of Joey's friends has started a crowd funding site on Go Fund Me in order to help defray the costs of Ryan's care.  Will you please check it out and learn more about Ryan and how you can help?

In working this series, I returned to my love of the colors of the waters that surround us where my husband and I live on beautiful Hutchinson Island, Florida. In working the final stages of the paintings, I began adding corals to the blues on two of the pieces, and as I added some textures to the pieces, they reminded me of underwater coral, thus the name for the series.  This work has a feeling of sky, water and coral under the water.
