"Pripyat bumper cars " 36" x 24" oil pigment sticks on linen
Pripyat, Ukraine is where the workers for the Chernobyl Power Plant lived before the meltdown. It is contaminated and abandoned now, and will be, possibly forever. (if someone tells you 'nothing lasts forever'....)

many men and women were hanged in 1693 as a result of the Salem Witch Trials. The site they were hanged at is called "Proctor's Hill" and there is a memorial there. This is a painting I did last year called "entrance to Proctor's Hill" 24" x 36" oil pigment sticks on linen
