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".

Night. A hunched, grotesque figure approaches a glowing greenish sphere hovering above a small pedestal. The figure extends a clawlike hand towards the sphere, from which greenish smoke is rising. The sky is a dark blue; the ground is a mix of black and soft purple. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A night sky filled with a vast planet, illuminated on the left side, and flying meteors. The sky is a soft purple-gray color; the moon and meteors are a glowing greenish-white. Below the moon is a blurry conical structure that could either be a mountain or a castle. It is illuminated by the moon. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A foggy, eerily green place. Looming out of the fog is a tall tower-like house with a sharp, pointed roof and a small, crooked chimney. The house has just one window: an arched window up near the roof. It is dark, with an unsettling-looking figure looking out of it. The figure has glowing green eyes and a slightly purple, shapeless body. A similar tower is seen, farther off in the distance. In the sky sits a hazy celestial object that could either be a sun or a moon. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A large box truck sits on a tarmac; only the rear is visible. The back of the truck is open, going by the eerie greenish light coming from it. The truck has an angled ramp and two satellite dishes on top. A figure is pushing a large box with a purple question mark on its side up the ramp into the truck. The sky is a dark purple. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A person walks in a field during early evening. A blaze of yellow sunlight illuminates their back. They are pointing a white flashlight beam into a darkening blue sky. The beam is illuminating a planet, resulting in the crescent moon which sits in the sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Early evening. The sky is a darkening blue-green. The last yellow glow of the sun is still visible on the horizon. In the foreground is the husk of a tree: not more than a trunk and a few sparse branches. Hanging from one of the branches is a lot jack-o'-lantern with a smiling face. A white crescent moon sits in the top right of the sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

The end of a concrete dock at night. The sky is a deep blue and filled with stars. A low layer of greenish mist covers the water. The dock is low and flat, with a few leaking pipes on the side. On the dock itself is a small, boxy shack with a large dish antenna mounted on the roof. The shack and antenna are lit on the right side by a pale source of light located offscreen; maybe the headlights of a parked but running car. On the left side of the shack, facing out to sea, is a glowing white light. At the very end of the dock, a figure stands, holding a glowing yellow lantern out over the water. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A darkening evening: The sky a navy blue with yellow-gold and lighter blue on the horizon. In the top right is the bluish sliver of a moon. In the foreground is what is either a very tiny tree with a large bird, or a normal-sized tree with an enormous bird. Either way, the tree is stunted and has no leaves and few branches. Hunched on one of the topmost branches is a large owl-like creature. Most of it is in silhouette; what is visible are two hornlike ears and two large, glowing yellow-green eyes. The last golden rays of sunlight glint dully off its feathers. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dull, cloudy evening: The sky is a greenish blue and foggy. In the foreground is the large silhouette of a dark house with no lights on anywhere. The house is seen in profile, a porch on the right side. In the distance, dimly visible in the fog, is the outline of another house, this one with a single window glowing yellow in the upper story. On the roof of the first house sits a lone figure, shining a flashlight off into the fog. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark forest in the dead of night. Dark purple tree trunks loom in the background. Stepping among them, seemingly rising up out of the ground, is a tall, ghostly figure glowing greenish-white. One of the figure's legs touches the ground, and is surrounded by a greenish glow; the other is disappearing into a hole in a tree trunk. The whole scene is fringed with a bioluminescent green. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark, cloudy, city night. The sky is heavily overcast; the whole scene is an oppressive brownish gray. In the foreground, a figure stands on the roof of a building. The figure is in an action pose, as if they're ready to leap into the sky. A low fog surrounds them. They have a Greek letter "pi" on the back of their outfit, and two squarish horns on their head. Hovering in the sky, projected against the clouds, is a ghostly greenish spotlight that also has a Greek letter "pi" at its center. In the distance are other skyscrapers, the windows dimly illuminated in the fog. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A person standing on the edge of a rocky point, staring off into the void. They are facing left. Above them is a light purple sky covered with stripes of fluorescent green clouds. Despite the relatively light color scheme, the scene is at night. Greenish fog hangs around the ground. A hazy half-moon sits in the top right. A scattering of stars is visible. Streaming from the person's face is a beam of blazing white light, like that from a lighthouse. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark blue night with a full moon in the top left of the sky. A tall ghost, white with a blue hazy glow about it, moves through the grass and fog, right hand out in front of it. It is wearing an orange shield-shaped mask that is featureless except for a single eye, looking to the left. The ghost has a white clock key sticking out of its back. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark night. Erupting out of the ground is a blazing geyser of rainbow light, illuminating the ground around it. There is a purplish glow around the rainbow, and above the ground. Placed directly to the right of the rainbow, presumably in front of it, is a small, rickety barricade with a warning sign: a triangular sign with an exclamation point on it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A small stone bridge crosses a river. It's night; the sky is a deep blue. Silhouetted against the sky is a cylindrical tower with a tall, conical roof. The bridge is connected to the tower, and a small doorway faces out onto the bridge. A slight haze hangs over the water. There is a dark, blurry suggestion of trees in the distance. The bridge and tower are dimly illuminated by a soft blue light that could be moonlight, but there is no visible moon. The only thing in the sky is a comet, glowing blue. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A small hill, on which is standing a tall rectangular obelisk. The obelisk has a minimalist face seen in profile: a long, straight nose and a vertical line for an eye. It looks very much like the "talking head" icon designed by Susan Kare for pre-OS X Mac system software. It is facing right. The scene is at night: the sky is dark blue and starry. The hill and obelisk are a dark indigo. Coming out of the face's mouth is a large glowing white-green speech balloon. It hangs in the air, glowing like an apparition. Standing at the base of the obelisk is a person. To the right of the person is a long ladder, leading up into the speech balloon. The person looks like they are about to climb the ladder. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A tall black post, flaming on top like a torch, stands on the middle of the snow. It is giving off a greenish-blue fire, a dim column of bluish smoke rising above it. Around it, the night is a dark blue, and seems to hang in foggy waves. To the left stands a ghostly figure wearing a white sheet, two eyeholes cut out of it. The figure is emerging out of a low fog. Hovering above the ghost's head is a glowing green halo. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark, foggy night. On the right of the painting, a rickety dock extends across greenish fog that covers the water. It is supported by two unsteady-looking pilings. At the very end of the dock is an even more rickety lamppost, from which hangs a glowing greenish lantern. Moss hangs from the underside of the dock. Also hanging from the underside of the dock, like a bat, is an unsettling figure wearing a top hat and coat. Going by the two glowing green eyes under the hat, it is not sleeping. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman". Happy Valentine's Day.

A black sky with only a full moon. The ground is flat, white, and barren, with a white fog rising from it. Standing in the fog is a ghostly white figure reaching towards the moon. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark blue night with a hazy sliver of a moon and no stars. Looming in the background is the vast silhouette of a classical building that resembles the front of the Parthenon: a wide triangular pediment supported by eight columns. The sky is seen between the pillars, suggesting that much of the building is gone. The moonlight reflects dimly off the right side of the pediment. Gathering in front of the building are the dark silhouettes of a crowd of people, some of whom are carrying glowing yellow candles and torches. A low bluish haze covers the ground. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A person wearing a fedora and a suit runs across a meadow at night, holding up a large butterfly net. They're trying to capture an object hurtling out of the sky. The object is small, the size of a large frisbee, and saucer-shaped. It is leaving a slight glowing trail. Both the front and back of the object are glowing white with heat. The sky is a greenish-blue, clear and starry. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A small birdhouse on a tall, uneven stick, in the middle of a dark meadow at night. Heading towards it from different directions are three glowing entities that look sort of like minnows made of glowing green light. The surrounding sky is dark blue.

A tall, thin human figure walks through a dark meadow. The sky is a bluish-green and looks like late evening. The figure's head is a desk lamp, casting a glowing white beam. The figure is holding a magnifying glass in front of it, pointed towards the ground. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A bright yellow sky. In the top right of the sky is a round white sun. Hanging from the top of the sky is a light with a gray, metal, hemispherical shade, like the sort of light you'd find hanging from a ceiling. The light is casting a cone of darkness. Standing under the cone is a dark purple figure holding a lantern. The lantern casts a warm, yellow glow in the darkness of the anti-light coming from above. Stars are visible in the darkness, as though the lamp isn't just casting darkness, but night.

A blue night sky filled with exploding bursts of color: red, yellow, various shades of green and blue that cover most of the sky. A small building sits on a hill illuminated by the fireworks. One window in the side of the building is illuminated. Happy 2025.

An impressionist scene of an abandoned building at night. The building is an old stone house missing a roof. One inner wall of the house is visible; an arched window lets in moonlight. On the wall facing the viewer is an empty arched doorway with a few stairs beneath it. A small stony hill leads down from the building. Greenish moonlight reflects off the hill. In the sky, the moon blazes white. This is a predominantly blue painting composed with heavy brushwork and bright colors. The brushstrokes surrounding the moon are a mix of white, yellow, bright, green, and various shades of blue.

A bright starry night. Three tall, robed figures stand on a train station platform. While they are mostly silhouetted, the approximate colors of their robes are still visible. The leftmost figure, wearing reddish robes, is staring at its phone. The middle figure wears yellowish robes; the rightmost figure wears blue, and is facing left. All three are wearing crowns. They are standing under a small roof, from which is hanging a sign with glowing red lettering. What the sign says is unclear, but this is presumably a station timetable. High in the sky, on the right, a white star blazes.

A dark space. A single light hangs from the top, casting a lurid blue conical glow like a spotlight. Standing under it is a dark silhouetted figure holding a black umbrella, as though trying to ward off the light like rain.

A winter night. The ground is covered in snow. The sky is deep blue and filled with stars. A hazy, bluish humanoid form that looks like a ghost stands next to a round sign with a bus icon on it. On the left side of the painting is a blurry collection of dark tree branches in the distance. On the right side are black, more sharply defined branches with snow on them.

A clear blue night with a full moon. The ground is covered in light bluish fog. Emerging through the fog is an ominous figure: humanoid, but misshapen and bulky, as though hastily assembled from rock or clay. The figure's face is not visible. The moonlight glints dully off it. Hovering above its head is a glowing white halo. This is a mostly blue painting.
