[For Jaime] Shocked and Frightened, Brainless and Clueless. And Stanley.



24" x 36"
Acrylic paint, mica, pearlescent ink and vinyl tape on canvas.

Took me 8 years to finish this painting, though to be honest I stopped working on it for 7 of those years while I was focusing on my Ph.D. I originally was going to give it to my sister, Jaime, as a house warming gift for her new condo. Then it became a wedding gift. Then a baby shower gift. Now it will finally be a "Happy first Birthday Niece !" gift.

I was thinking in this piece what it would be like if you had a fish tank in your bedroom, and your fish have developed PTSD from watching you have sex. All except Stanley. He is into it.
