2025, Original, acrylic on canvas, 36×48”   

Perched majestically on his weathered picnic table, he radiates confidence found only in creatures who can eat poison ivy with impunity. The scene celebrates the charms of the Shawangunk Ridge under a bright, cumulus sky.
​The rugged majesty of the Mohonk Preserve in the distance represent eons of geological movement.

The painting is a conversation starter for those who appreciate the intersection of contemporary realism and narrative. The contrast between the impasto fur of the goat and the geometric lines of the picnic table create a visual tension that keeps the viewer engaged. A sophisticated take on a splendid domestic animal who radiates supreme confidence.

Atticus is rendered life-sized.
