Crow Apple
January 10, 2024
The noose around the apple’s stem suggests how humans are strangling the environment with pollution and climate change. The wilted apple represents the dying Earth, and the crow is a warning of the inevitable consequences of our actions. The overall impression of the image is one of stillness and tension. The stillness becomes not one of contemplation, but of suffocating silence, the absence of birdsong and the rustle of leaves a chilling testament to our environmental devastation. ...
Dragon

A black and white line art drawing of a dragon. The dragon is in mid-flight, its wings outstretched and its tail curled behind it. Its head is turned towards the viewer, and its mouth is open in a roar. The dragon’s eyes are narrowed, and its claws are extended. The style of the drawing is reminiscent of traditional Chinese dragon paintings. The lines are fluid and graceful, and the dragon is depicted in a powerful and majestic way. ...

The path winds through the trees, dappled with sunlight and shadow. In the distance, you can see the tops of taller trees, their leaves blending into a hazy green. The painting is reminiscent of autumn in New England, when the leaves change color and the air is crisp and cool. ...
Jellyfish

A pencil sketch of jellyfish and a fish. The jellyfish are in the foreground, and are much larger than the fish. The jellyfish have a bell-shaped body with long, trailing tentacles. The fish is swimming near the jellyfish’s tentacles, but it is not clear what species of fish it is. The sketch is very detailed, and the artist has captured the delicate nature of the jellyfish’s body and tentacles.

Sea Shell

A pencil sketch of a person holding a seashell. The person is cradling the seashell in their hands. The seashell is large and spiral-shaped, and it looks like it has been worn smooth by the sea. The sketch is very detailed, and the artist has used a variety of shading techniques to create a sense of depth and dimension. Photo taken Jun 2018.

Stay Out Banana
January 10, 2024
A watercolor painting of a banana peel with the words “STAY OUT!!” written in red capital letters above it. There is also smaller text that says, “Trespassers will be roasted by airborne reptillian.” The banana peel is brown and looks overripe. It is sitting on a white background. A similar art piece titled “Comedian” by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan is a real banana duct-taped to a white wall. There are a few key differences between the two works of art. ...
