When what is right is so clear.

I do not know if I like this painting at all but will let people see it.

Mona Lisa The Painting

Reinterpretation of famous painting is something have been thinking about. The idea is not original which is one reason I was reluctant to start. But realized that my interpretation would not simply a copy. Surprisingly more interesting had original though. I have a better idea of why it was common for a painter to copy the great masters. My interest was less about the copy of the techniques but rather spending all that time examining all parts of the work.

Missed Train

Where the symbol of freedom is in the end their demise.

Day Off

Not sure about the title of this work. I wanted to express the labor theme inherent in the image. There is also the sense of powerlessness there is no escape. Like a day off work you will have to return.
