An oil painting of a man with long hair standing in front of a green field with puffy lush trees in the background and a clear blue sky with no clouds. He is wearing a striped sweater. His face is a light cyan color, from the sky. His neck is green like the grass and tree line. There are four barren trees with minimal branches reaching from his neck over the bottom of his face and his lips. He has short and wispy facial hair.

A colorful oil painting of a young woman with long, dark hair. She is wearing a shirt with puffy sleeves and is raising her hands in front of her face. The shadows from the hands are bright red and cover her mouth, nose, and parts of her cheeks and eyes - outlining the hands and fingers. The background is a blue sky with white and yellow clouds. The clouds are repeated in a darker blue, gray, and mustard yellow color over the shirt. They are also reflected over her hands and face.

An oil painting of a young woman in a button down shirt. She is standing on a city sidewalk. A Baltimore rowhome is projected over her and her shirt. There are large windows and a streetlight on her shirt. Bricks are outlined in her face and part of the shadow from the building looks like a tiara across her forehead. Behind her is a rowhome, a bright blue clear sky with some telephone lines, a gray concrete building and a purplish wood fence with a POSTED KEEP OUT sign on it. The sidewalk is cracked.
