A portrait of a little green man with a big gold halo. Alien as creator, or a juxtaposition of two of our culture's most popular personifications of power and mystery? Layers and layers of paint give this piece dramatic, landscape-like texture. It is painted in acrylic on a three inch deep box canvas with painted sides, adding to it's three dimensional quality. This piece jumps off the wall at you and demands attention.

Three black birds and a telephone pole and wires against a dreary swimming grey sky. Captures a mood of desolation and attention to mundane detail. Mostly black and white with highlights of peach. Created in 2005 in North Carolina. Acrylic on canvas.
