Antonymous Synonymity, 2012, Charcoal and Conte on Paper, 22″x30″

Isn’t it funny how siblings can be so alike – and yet, so very different at the same time?  Above, my latest work, and first completed piece of 2012, features my brother Michael.  Below, a painting by Michael, given to me this past Christmas, features my little sister, Casey, and me. I absolutely love the priceless expressions, the similarities and differences, the contrasts and family-oriented creativity. Both pieces currently hang on my bedroom wall.
