Deviant Intentions

Oil on Panel, 11x14"h, $850

Tip the Executioner

Oil paint on hardboard 36”w x 54”h,
43.5”w x 62”h framed $4,500

The public spectacle of execution and the idea of procuring an experienced axe wielder is the subject here. I used the work of Lucas Cranch as reference for clothing.
