Here is a new painting that I posted on my website last week. “It’s a Magical World Where Everything is Enchanted” Aberrations of nature, whether it be real or fabricated, indulges or appetite for the exotic, the strange, the unknown. Like peering down a dark tunnel at our deepest fears and impassioned desires.
