""have fun""

a piece about mismatched understanding of circumstances, and the people you please.

6"x8", acrylic & oil on canvas
the painting shows a solitary figure, facing away from us and surrounded by darkness. above him is a trail of clouds through which a bright sliver of light breaks through, and 2 hands from the clouds offer him a piece of cake and throw confetti. there are balloons on the ground, and hidden in the darkness are the vague silhouettes of creatures.

if i can't see you (Get Me Out), 2024
a frantic clown with no pants on is down on his knees, with one hand covering his left eye and the other hand holding a dagger pointed at his right eye; he's surrounded by masks suspended by clusters of balloons, and darkness. there's an ornate border on the image, with ribbons and winged hands and stone filigree
