7x5" Mixed Media on Paper
This is a mixed-media painting with a rich, layered composition set against a warm peach/amber watercolor background.
Central Figures
A young man in street clothing — a hoodie, patchwork vest, and sneakers . There is a dog in the foreground. Clinging to his back is a skeleton dressed in a blue patchwork outfit, its bony arm outstretched and pointing, as if guiding or haunting the figure.
Surrounding Elements
A spiraling sun floats in the upper left — ambiguous between cosmic and playful
Stylized trees with rounded green canopies frame the scene, reminiscent of folk art or model railroad scenery
The bottom border features what appears to be a dense crowd or cityscape with small flags and figures
A partially visible "OCTOBER 1..." label sits at the bottom, suggesting a specific date or event
Style & Mood
The work blends folk art, surrealism, and collage, with visible paint texture and cut-paper elements. The tone is simultaneously whimsical and ominous — the skeleton companion reads as both a memento mori and a playful presence, evoking themes of mortality, companionship, and the journey through life.
