These were done for Introductory painting - the first two in this set form a night/day diptych of the UH architecture building.
The third is "Still life with Candy". They are on canvas, the size is roughly 16" by 24" for all of them.
These paintings reuse parts of a selective list of still life objects. All paintings here are on paper, sizes are small, ranging from 4" by 4" to 8.5" by 11".
Of particular note are the abstracted symmetric painting of seals, the "weightless" floating objects painting, and the "recording process" painting, in which a still life, the artist painting the still life, and the camera recording the artist, all appear in one composition.
First one is a collage, not a simple painting. It contains textures - printed paper, sand, plaster, and lichen.
It hints subtly at the dichotomy between natural and artificial, opposite from each other are two destructive forces - an atom bomb and an earthquake - and two codes cross the planet diagonally - DNA and digital binary code.
Painting #2 is a manipulation of the ordinary - a parallel world which at first glance appears to be an ordinary landscape, but contains many otherworldly details.
Both works are on canvas, sizes of roughly 72" by 72", and 72" by 96".
A series of three paintings based loosely upon three Hieronymous Bosch works - "Paradise", "The Final Judgement", and "The Temptations of Saint Anthony".
All three contain a knight figure. There was a prerequisite in the Intermediate painting course to use a certain toy in each painting, thus the toy knight.
The center painting is least connected to Bosch out of the three, it retains the composition but nearly every element is original - and some are disturbing.
