No matter how social and political our context, we also exist in solitude. Sometimes I look at some of these preliminary works or those still on the mental canvas, yet to be made, and could describe them as evoking the day after a big event.

A watercolor painting of a brown rabbit sitting on a flat surface, with a softly colored abstract background.
Abstract painting of a woman with blonde hair, standing with arms crossed, wearing a teal shirt and white pants, against a colorful background of vertical brushstrokes in red, orange, yellow, teal, and blue.
Painted scene of a sunset viewed through a chain-link fence, with a blurred cityscape in the background.
Close-up of a white wooden door with a black door latch on the left side.
An abstract painting with blurred reflections of colorful lights on a wet surface, as would be seen through a wet window in a high rise at night.
Close-up view of a wooden floor with a chair, part of a white table, and a person's foot in a shoe.
A painting of a wooden chair with a curved backrest, painted in warm brown and orange tones, with white spots on the backrest, set against a plain white background.
An autumn landscape with colorful fallen leaves covering the ground, tall trees with orange, yellow, and green leaves, a parked car, and a portable toilet in the background, all painted in an impressionistic style.
A close up of a corner of a wood and woven chair on a porch.
A still life of a faded Matisse post card on a small easel, a vintage Cafe du Monde coffee mug holding a red and a blue pencil, symbolizing politics along with a Cafe du Monde coffee can that has been repurposed for art paint thinner.
Sunlight brightens an area on a green door viewed straight ahead, several feet away.
A still life painting of a brown pear, two glass bottles of lemon drinks, a yellow tea box, and a transparent glass mug with a lemon beverage.
A painting of a woman with short hair, implied as being at a pool, perhaps with others, sitting squatting in a neutral space, with phones floating around her and natural world elements outside, as if only decorative, framing.
