"Rear Window" Acrylic on panel, 2022. Part of a window series shaped by moments looking out from the apartment during the pandemic, Hitchcock in the background. Hard to process that impact as things feel increasingly fractured and inward-looking. #painting #contemporaryrealism #stilllife #art

Nocturne painting looking out from an apartment window with still life of a book, camera and smoke on the windowsill, lit windows in the adjacent apartment beyond the window pane.
