Peculiar Animal: Oil Painting series

These paintings are the first in a series I am doing called Peculiar Animal. It consists of images taken from life, the imagination and motion pictures that illustrate our uniqueness as humans in the animal kingdom and also our undeniable animalistic tendencies that group us right in with our hairier relatives. This is a dissection of the ego, appearance, protocol, behavior and psychology of human beings reacting to the fact that we exist and that we are not alone.
