And the Killers Came Dancin across the Water

And the Killers Came Dancin across the Water

Oil · 2026 · 8.5" x 17.5" · Oil on wood plank

Mount Hood is the model peak for this piece which reimagines the first European contact with indigenous people of the Western United States. Many of whom the Natives were friendly with, providing trade and commerce in relative peace and harmony. This was the way of life until nations began breaking treaties with Native Tribes in pursuit of land and resources. Between 1778 and 1871, it is estimated that the US Government broke between 370 and 374 treaties they had signed with Native American Tribes. This is how the “The Indian Wars” began. Sister pieces include, “Repocalypto” as well as, “And the Killers Came Dancin Across the Water II”.

Thermonuclear Warfare

Thermonuclear Warfare

Oil · 2026 · 12" x 16" · Oil on canvas

After the end of WWII the Research Labs of the US Government had established nuclear capabilities. There came a new type of bomb, the Fusion/Hydrogen bomb. They used nuclear fusion with a nuclear fission bomb as a trigger. These bombs would prove hundreds and thousands of times stronger than the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. My interpretation of a bomb dropped on the Bikini Atoll.
