    Default Art project 50 portraits of whistleblowers released

    Hello all

    After 2 years, I have completed my 50 portraits of whistleblowers in honor of these unique people. I do not expect agreement on all, I am an artist, not a researcher. However, seen in the context of Art, perhaps many will be introduced to the topic and decide for themselves. I hope you will all share with others. many thanks to Bill and all Avalonians along the way.

    Incredible work Doug! I watercolor and aptly am inspired by artists. You may want to add a brillant man: Dr. Andrew Moulden MD PhD. He "died" unexpectedly a few years ago, a vanguard exposing the physical damages to children from vaccines. He was abolished in many areas of his credentialed career. Canadian. Check him out. We keep his work compiled from an interview in our office for patients to read. He lives on . . . . fearlessly.

    I like the quote you have on there as well.....

    Yes Bettye198 I wish I could include all these great people and even today the ones being marginalized in the uncovering of health issues and alternative medicine practice. Perhaps I will continue to do another 50 !

    Hey Doug,
    I hope it is ok to post this request on this thread. I was wondering when you have time if you could tell us a lttle about the paintings that have been used on your Avatar more recently.

    The latest of the frying shellfish wih the angel seahorse looking on made me laugh when I noticed it, very well done.

    Also the illusive lady of fish and the very well done smeggles like man (Lord of The Rings) that was behind you in the avatar before that.

    I ran across this post on reddit today... and recognized the painting by Doug of the Lady. This may be the wrong thread but very interesting to me. The Guardians.... seems timely. What do the Guardians want to happen?
