November 16, 2025
A dim forest: evening-blue background, tall purple trees looming out of the fog. In the foreground is a ground of dark grass and the trunk of a huge tree. Hovering at the base of the tree is a glowing yellow orb, a trail of light behind it. The light it casts turns the trunk a yellowish-red. In the background are a few other, dimmer orbs. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A clear blue evening. At the edge of a cliff, a bizarre rocky structure extends into the air. It best resembles some weird crystalline outgrowth; a tower made of cubical boulders that have been fused together. Sitting on the top boulder is a person, dimly illuminated by a glowing yellow lantern. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A small, winding country road at night. The road—barely more than a path—cuts through a scrubby hill, dimly illuminated by the clear blue starry sky and the full white moon. The moon appears to be a glowing hole in the sky; a round, bank-vault-like door is next to it, and swung open. A rope dangles out of the moon. Clinging to it like a cat burglar is a dark figure, about halfway down to the ground, carrying a small suitcase. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A lone figure walks through an abandoned city street on a pale green night illuminated by a full white moon. On the left, the buildings loom up and away. The street is just an empty space where no buildings are. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

The side of a house at night. The roof and porch column are decorated with red, white, and green holiday lights. The lights are connected to a small grayish box on the side of the house. The box has two icons, one of a Halloween pumpkin and one of a Christmas tree. It also has a large switch next to the icons. The switch, which one can presume was set to the Halloween setting yesterday, is now in the Christmas tree position. The sky is blue and filled with stars. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

In a craggy, remote place, a witchlike figure stands next to a large black cauldron with glowing greenish smoke boiling up out of it into the dull blue evening sky. The cauldron is lit yellow-orange from below by fire. The witch isn't looking at the cauldron, though; they're looking at a laptop perched on a stool. While the screen is too small to be legible, someone familiar with YouTube will have the impression that the witch is watching a YouTube video tutorial. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A gray, mostly cloudy winter night. The large black-and-gold hulk of a ship sits in Boston harbor under a dim white crescent moon. On deck, several dark figures are having a tea party, at least in the historical sense: they are hurling large wooden crates of cargo into the water. Spray-painted on the hull of the ship is a more contemporary symbol: a rudimentary sketch of a crown in white paint, with a red X over it. Fog hovers over the water. In the distance, the gray outline of Boston is visible, punctuated by a few yellow lights. The painting is signed “Chris Silverman”.

A person stands on the rooftop of a tenement building in the middle of a city. It's a clear, starry night; the sky is a deep blue-green, dotted with bright stars. Some of those stars may be something else, though, going by the cluster of glowing yellow-green fireflies hovering around the person's outstretched hand. The fireflies seem attracted to the person. On the buildings all around, windows glow yellow. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A clear, starry night sky. The sky is a deep blue and covered with stars. Floating in the sky is the huge, ghostly form of a fish, outlined in iridescent green. Where the fish's eye would be is a white full moon. A number of the stars sit along the outline, defining it. Below is a remote, craggy mountain peak, with a dark blur of a treeline in the background. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A bent, rusty pipe sticks up out of the weeds. The pipe is relatively long and wide, and made of thick metal. Despite that, there are noticeable cracks at the end of it. Bolted onto its sides are a small faucet and another smaller pipe going back into the ground. Sticking out from its right side is a metal pole with a small, bluish wooden sign that has the word "open" on it in light-colored lettering. The sky behind the pipe is dark blue, with bright pink on the horizon. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A craggy red mountain range under a red-yellow moon and a dark sky. Blazing through the sky, leaving red trails, are a number of meteors, glowing yellow. The painting has a brownish, hazy quality to it. It is signed "Chris Silverman".

A blue, foggy scene at night. Looming out of the fog is a church, several windows glowing with an eerie blue light. Approaching the church in the foreground is a hunched-over creature with a long tail, arms out. The painting is signed “Chris Silverman”.

A black cat sits in an unlit room, in front of a giant plate-glass window, looking out. Visible through the window is an eerie scene: a cloudy night, the sky heavy with brown clouds, and a thick black treeline in the distance. Right over the treeline, breaking through the clouds, is a blazing beam of greenish white light. The source of the light is above the clouds, unseen. The light casts a dim illumination over everything. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A ruined building sits on a rocky hill. The building is a small brick house with no windows, no roof, and crumbling walls with graffiti. The building is a rusty brick-brown color. The sky is the dull green-blue of evening, with a white full moon high in the right side of the sky. Sitting on the left wall of the building is a ghostly white figure, checking its phone. The painting is signed “Chris Silverman”.

A gray scene that could be anywhere from twilight to late night. A person in a suit, a hat, and a badge stands in a dark gray grassy area, pointing a glowing white flashlight beam to the right. In front of them, partially embedded in the ground, is a stone cube with a question mark carved into it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A giant, oblong stone head sits in a dark field on a starry evening. The sky is the soft blue of a clear summer night. The head is the size of a small two-story building, with a craggy, scowling face. On the right side of the head is an open hatchway, suggesting the head has an interior. White light is pouring from the hatchway, and someone is peering into it, reaching into it as though making repairs or adjustments. A full moon sits in the sky, its light glinting off the head. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A bright reddish-crimson figure stands in a dark blue space, holding a large bubble on a string like a balloon. The bubble is an iridescent indigo color, with pink and blue highlights. The figure looks slightly translucent, as if it is made of glass or jelly, with yellow highlights. Sticking out of its back is a dull gold windup key. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A figure without a visible head stands against a dark background. The figure is wearing a suit. The suit is black with a white dress shirt and black tie. A blue glowing pin is attached to the left jacket lapel. The figure is also wearing an ID badge. Where the head would be, there is a glowing, neon-green spray-painted face featuring a hot pink spiral and a blue 'X' for eyes, and a wide grin that drips down from its edges. Wild hair sticks off from the side. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman."

A dark blue night sky with a speckling of stars, a flat and darker blue ground, and a greenish-gold glow on the blurry horizon. Hovering in the sky is a large dark blue sphere, its left edge reflecting the gold light from the horizon. On the darkest side of the sphere is a blue smiley face. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A darkened blue area that suggests a stage. There is a house, although it looks like a stage prop. The house has an arched doorway that reveals a different world: a bright blue sky, green grass, and yellow flowers. Above, on the second floor, is an arched window with another different scene: another blue sky, this time with pink. A dark figure wearing a suit and top hat stands in that window. To the right of that window is a round yellow window. To the right of the house is a Victorian lamppost, which also looks like a prop. Above it is a glowing yellow crescent moon, which is very clearly a stage prop, as it is hanging from strings. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark, gray night. In the foreground, a figure stands with its arms out, confronting the blazing white headlights of a car. This is a dark, blurry painting with ominous overtones. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Two green creatures with antennae sit on a small rocky hill on the surface of the moon. One is holding a red cup. They're watching the earth, surrounded by black starry space, with several bright orange explosions dotting its surface. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Two planets hanging in a vast, blue space. The largest one, closest to the viewer, has the letter "B" carved into it. A distance away is a smaller planet with "A" visible on its surface. Streaking between them is a blazing white comet, its light reflecting off both planets. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A small yellow path winds through a grassy meadow at night. The meadow is a blend of greens and yellows, speckled with small white and yellow flowers. The sky is a medium blue, with a large white crescent moon and stars. To the right of the path is a small yellow sign with the word "Exit" on it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A cloudy, gray night. A machine is walking through the night: a metal machine the greenish color of tarnished copper, with two robotic legs, a rectangular body, and a lamp mounted in front. The body looks like a small outbuilding with a pointed roof and a single round window on the side, glowing greenish-yellow. On the rear of the machine is a clock key. The headlamp looks almost like a desk lamp: conical and pointed down, casting a fuzzy white beam on the grass below. Small particles are visible in the beam. The side of the machine is clearly metal, with a seam and bolts. Sitting in the window is the black silhouette of a cat. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A large, dark space. To the left is a small, glowing, yellow-green sphere. To the right, surrounding it, are a set of much larger planetlike spheres dully reflecting the light. While mostly dark, the light reflecting off them reveals that they are different colors: green, purple, pink. Most of the spheres are suspended by strings. One sphere is mounted on a rod coming up from the ground. One sphere, the smallest, is the head of a shadowy suit-wearing figure standing in the lower right corner. A greenish fog rises up from the ground. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A small, dark path winds through a blazing red meadow. Even though it's at night, the grass in the meadow is bright red and yellow, fading to neon greenish on the horizon. Looming up in the distance are the dark hulks of what look like apartment buildings. There are no lights or lit windows anywhere on them. A full moon sits in the dark blue-green sky, surrounded by stars. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A very small building, the size of an elevator car, positioned on a grassy hill. It is night; the sky is cloudy gray, with a thin orange crescent of a moon. The building is rather ornate, with the suggestion of faded reddish paint. The front of it is occupied entirely by a door with an arched window that glows green. Fixed to the right side of the building is a small sign that says "exit" in bright red block letters. Uneven steps lead up to the building. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A person sits on the roof of a house at night. The sky is very clear and filled with stars. The house is in a large meadow, with the blurry suggestion of trees in the background. It has a window, but it's dark. The person is pointing a flashlight down towards the ground, squarely at the head of a large, unsettling figure lurching towards the house. The figure on the ground is hunched over, with unusually long arms; its posture suggests that it shuffles like a zombie. Low fog covers the ground. This is a predominantly blue painting with tinges of purple. It is signed "Chris Silverman".

An eerie scene: a mostly flat landscape with a few soft rises. It's at night. The sky is a dark mix of blue, purple, and dark maroon. Hovering along the horizon is a greenish glow. In the sky is another greenish glow that suggests a moon partially obscured and diffused by clouds. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A mailbox stands under a starry blue sky. The door to the mailbox is open, and a bright yellow light blazes from within. The flag of the mailbox is raised. It's reddish and larger than usual, with the word. "open" on it in yellow letters. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark figure wanders through a foggy blue night. Where the figure's head would be floats a glowing white eye with a multicolored iris, ringed in orange, yellow, and red. The eye is partly dissolving into bluish white fog, leaving a trail behind it. It looks almost like a fish. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
