No Guts Old Glory
2006

A painting featuring an abstract composition with elements of nature and human figures. The central focus is a contorted, oversized human figure intertwined with slender tree trunks against a muted yellow background. Various other figures are sketched around the central form, some in climbing poses, with hints of red lines suggesting movement or connection. The artwork blends realism with surrealism, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
