Deviant Intentions

Oil on Panel, 11x14"h, $850

Secret Love

Oil on canvas 11x14", $850 framed

The back of the heart is a place for unspoken human behavior and emotions, a place where actions are weighed and analyzed.
A silhouette is the design element to present this idea. We're not sure what's behind her wistful smile.

This is a fantasy piece in that flesh eyes could never been displayed this way. The many colors and some maladies of the eye are in this study.

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. This is not Mary Queen of Scotts, but I did decide on a red dress because she chose that color to profess her innocence. An accusation is all that was needed.

Louis is an endearing character even though he is a vampire. After reading Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice I wanted to see them for myself.
