This piece was done at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts summer program in 2008. I consider it the first of my surreal hilly landscapes, and it was the first eyebird appearance as well...

Acrylic on canvas
2008

This painting was inspired by the composition of the famous pre-Renaissance painting "Lamentation of Christ" by the artist Giotto. I stumbled across this composition while doing an exercise in an art history class, and I had no idea how important it was to the history of painting. Good fortune.

This piece was inspired by fictitious images of the Ark of the Covenant, the container that held the stone tablets supposedly written in God's hand, proof of his existence.

This is not an image of the finished piece, there were some pen details I added after this picture was taken. Unfortunately, this piece has been left in Florida, and I cannot document it completed at this time.
