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".

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".

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".
