"Leaving Mark or Stain on the World"
Oil On Canvas With Clock And Rug"
6.5' X 3.5'
An examination of the combination of sculpture and painting using common still life image motifs. To me, it is still the same thing whether a painted picture of a clock and rug or a genuine painted rug and clock are present. The wording at the bottom of rug states "When you die will you leave your mark on the world or a stain?"
"Self Portrait with Apple"
Oil On Canvas with Objects
5' X 3'
I tried to be a little silly with this painting. I intended to turn a still life into an anthropomorphic representation of me. An old shoe is painted on the table, and the paint and brushes represent the artist within me. An old pair of shoes and socks of mine are fastened to the two table legs.
