This painting (Janus) responds to Tom's report of waking up after brain surgery to the visage (or alternate visage) of another patient. A patient who's had a drawing of a face tatooed to the back of his bald head.

Mixed Media Work Featured in Gallery Shop

Five of my framed collage-paintings and -drawings are available at the Pyramid Atlantic Community Store in downtown Silver Spring. Just visited this afternoon and they are hung and look good (I think) in the space. All of these pieces have been shown in at least one previous solo or group exhibit: Stare Mesto (Old Town), Early Summer Pastoral, Ampersand, Bridge in Black and White, Cinderella Dreams.
