Mexican Still Life
We look at what appears to be a table, many different items rest on its surface. Towards the bottom right corner there is half of a block of cheese that is hidden through the strokes of the table. Moving further up into the middle ground, there is a…
Red Clown
A clown dressed in a red costume and ruffled collar holds up a game of Tic-Tac-Toe to play with a dog—or is it a pig, given the body shape and curly tail? Behind them, a large crowd under a big-top tent watches the two perform. It’s not entirely…
Winter Night
This painting depicts a snowy mountainside. Tall, dark trees contrast the lighter highlights of the snow around them. In the distance, two mountain peaks are visible against the skyline. The trees progressively grow smaller in the distance, creating…

Deserted House
An off-white house, set behind a tree with branches reaching over the roof, sits in an opulent environment of greens, browns, and yellows. Visible brush strokes in the siding of the house show shadows and rotting wood; in the tree, they texture the…
Sun Worshipers
Brilliant colors of red, white, green, and deep blues and purples stand out in this crown of flowers set against a monochrome backdrop. The flowers are supported via ceramic vase, as the flowers fawn out from the mouth of the vase; this whole…
