Still Life with Blue Face. 2024. Oil on canvas. 30x25"

This is an old painting that I reworked. I cropped the top to show less of the wall piece. It was interesting to see how my technique has changed over time.

Now is the Time of Monsters. 2022. Oil on canvas. 36x24"

This began as a humorous look at the childhood fear of the monster in the closet. Because I painted it during lockdown it became a little darker.
