Slow Mover 48” x 36” apx Watercolor and Ink on Paper with Metallic inks as well.
St. Lukes is a hospital in Houston that cares for the Coselli team, surgeons with a specialty in Aneurysms, bubbles in arteries.
Home of the famed Dr. Denton Cooley.

The central image is the patient my dad a slow mover (see poem in tags)
The 4 people are my two brothers and sister and mom
The artist, me holds the sign ' of life'
The surgeons hands frame the Steele on top his hands and the result effect all of us not gods but somehow god like
The image below the central one is an illustration of the heart. It has 2 bypasses
The numbers are icu monitors are intentionally cryptic
The design is blue and red, veins and arteries. The one on the right is the arotic arch it's diaphonously beautiful in it's base rawness it feeds the rest of the image just as veins mop up the expensed oxygen
Attached are the surgeons brain/head with head dress and lamp of illumination.
His breezy feet are to the left they are needed to keep him loose while working
The whole image feeds / reflects itself being self contained echoing ancient illustrated manuscripts and updating them with wireless devices it total the image becomes ... The soul, a story of a family where something obviously profound is happening... Yes the soul of the patient or artist. A cryptic testement to mankind.

A statement of appreciation for the surgeons and the team at St. Lukes who saved my dad’s life and perform miracles on a daily basis.
