The Egg Man and Comet Boy

These are two similar pieces that I did in the last few days. I actually started the painting first, then while waiting for the first layer of oil paint to dry I made the drawing, then I went back and finished the painting. While they have notable structural similarities, they are also quite different. I would find it difficult to choose between them as to which I preferred.

Comet Boy, 2019, oil on panel, 16" x 12"

The Egg Man, 2019, ink on illustratoin board, 20" x 16"

The Escapist

New painting, channeling Magritte at least a little, here. The shell-like ear was the finishing touch to this one.

The Escapist, 2017, acrylic on plywood, 16" x 12".

Alive Inside the Egg / The Arrival of the Alchemist

A new large-ish monochrome painting on cardboard. It occurs to me that achemy is a good metaphor for creating art, or maybe creating art is a good metaphor for alchemy...

Alive Inside the Egg / The Arrival of the Alchemist, 2015, acrylic on cardboard, 48" x 36".

Woman with a Dangerous and Mysterious Egg

This could be the beginning of a new small series of murky, crepuscular images done on jute panels, where the texture of the panel adds to the atmosphere of the artwork...

Woman with a Dangerous and Mysterious Egg, 2014, acrylic on jute panel, 12" x 9".

Portent

Another tondo painting for the Apocalyptic series...an oval object appearing in the sky.

Portent, 2012, acrylic on circular canvas, 10" diameter.

New brush & ink drawing for the Heaven & Hell series:
