Just about finished with this small piece (11 x 14). Needed to do something with a simple composition after working for days on the paintings in my show at the Monmouth Beach Cultural Center. The exhibit is a two person show with my brother, Jerry, as the other half. Happy to exhibit with Jerry. We have worked independently as artists for a long time and never really did something like this before…. well, there were a few shows with my punk rock band where Jerry sat in as the drummer, but that was like a century ago. The show runs from Aug. 4th to Sept. 4th.

The painting here is entitled Skull with Carnation for obvious reasons. It is a straight up memento mori.
