Jasper's Last Breath
2001

A framed painting depicting an abstract composition with geometric and organic shapes, featuring two vertical white rectangles that resemble blank canvases or windows. The background is a muted palette of grays and browns, with lines that suggest a fragmented, paneled surface. Scattered throughout are whimsical elements such as colorful rubber ducks, a black bird, and a train toy, which add a playful contrast to the otherwise somber tones. The painting is encased in a dark brown frame.
