"First Visitors," oil on canvas panel, 14 x 11 inches, 2025
I wasn't sure what this piece was until I started painting the figure. It's pretty loose because I worked with no plan, but I think I like it, which is rare for me.

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism - there is extensive research showing this. Resurrecting old, discredited, fraudulent work is shameful.
Vaccine-preventable illnesses are serious - this is going to cause real harms.
This is dangerous & disappointing.
