#094: Retirement (As some family members would have me believe; with a little addition of my own)

Oil on canvas.  A far-reaching landscape of sunshine, fields and trees.  On the horizon, though, are dark clouds, and darker lands

#073: Finding Yourself

A painting showing a maze.  

Within the maze is a person finding their way through.

Throughout the maze, along its paths, are various statues and other representations of different milestones and versions of the person that they will either pass and partake at different times or miss altogether as they find their way through the maze until finding their complete self (or death) in the middle.

#054: Adulthood (Life's impossible game)

Oil on canvas.  Two people sit at a table in a plain room playing chess.  One, on the left, is in normal clothes while the other wears a billowing white shroud with a hood covering much of their head but showing a full, healthy face bearing a broad grin.  The player on the left has only black pawns while the player on the right has a full set of white pieces and is poised to take another pawn (they already have four on their side of the board).  

#051: Always and Throughout

Oil on canvas.  A figure stands on a path.  Before them the path forks off into different directions time and time again, stretching out before them all the way to the horizon.  The paths are made up of rooms, all individual, each with at least two doors leading out of them to a new room, or path.  On the distant horizon are many final rooms and doors.

#049: Childhood

One long, twisty, turny, slide. Mostly in the sun but quickly changeable weather all the way.

#047: The Impassable Place

Three dots arranged horizontally.

                                                    One           (horizontal)          line.

One dot.

#046: Teenage Years

 A cocoon.

#045: Building Blocks (Pre-memory)

A beautiful haze of colours and sounds with occasional clarity.

(Maybe a room, inside which viewers can sit or lie down as projected colours swirl around the walls.  Within these are occasional scenes, typical of early childhood, in different states of blur, but none fully in focus.  Similarly, there are snatches of words and phrases, indistinct and removed from context.)

#044: At birth

A blank canvas in a frame.

A plaque underneath asks, “What was your frame like?”

#003: The long slide to death in old age as viewed by a reasonably young person (38)

A rotting apple.
