February 21, 2025
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".

February 20, 2025
Either early morning or late evening: most of the sky is still a dark, heavy blue. There is a slight bluish glow on the dark horizon. On a small hill is a large industrial complex: smoke stacks and piping, with a few glowing red and green lights. It appears to be unpopulated. Glowing green smoke comes from two of the stacks. In the foreground, the ground is a dark indigo. A dim road winds along the ground towards the viewer. Driving along the road is a small car, the headlights casting a yellow glow in front of it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A tall, craggy, conical mountain rises out of the gloom of fog. The sky is a heavy, dark gray. Extending out of the mountain's left side is a long dock, jutting into space. The doorway casts white light along the dock. Above the dock, high in the air, is a small figure wearing what appears to be a jet pack. White flames are shooting out of the jet pack, leaving a trail of light gray smoke. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A yellow sky with orange clouds; beneath it,a flat orange-brown plain. On the right of the painting is a tall, perfectly vertical wall with a small arched doorway in it. At the very top of the wall is a horizontal rod with a large bell hanging from it. Also hanging from it is a small sign, suspended just above the doorway, with the word "Goal" on it. The wall is a red-brown color, with the front face reflecting orange. Running towards the doorway is the silhouette of a person. One level down, who knows how many to go. 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 mountain rises up into a reddish-purple sky. Hovering above the mountain is a circular spacecraft, a long yellowish beam of light emanating from a small round hatch on its underside. The sky is heavy with clouds and fog. A few dark shapes of birds circle about the mountain. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A gray day and a snowy landscape. On a small hill stands a large metal statue, colored a heavy dark gray with greenish tinges. The statue is of a person wearing a coat, left hand in their coat pocket, right hand upraised as though giving a speech. The person's head is a box with a question mark on it, like you'd find in a Mario level. There is snow on the statue. In the background is a blurry brown suggestion of trees. 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 dark green background. In the foreground is a collection of small, brightly glowing greenish-yellow rocks. Strands of mist rise up from the rocks. Standing behind them, looming out of the fog, is a large dark figure with no visible arms and a round head. The underside of its broad nose is lit eerily. Its eyes glow green-yellow in the light. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

February 12, 2025
An aged signpost that consists of several rough-looking slats of wood nailed to an uneven log stands in the middle of a green meadow. The sky is clear and blue. In the background can be seen two small houses with red roofs. The topmost sign points to the left, although the way it's mounted, it is also pointing towards the sky. The word "cancel" is roughly painted on it in drippy white letters. The second sign points to the right and has the word "reject" in red, similarly rough lettering. The last sign points to the left and slightly down and has the word "OK" in light blue lettering. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

February 11, 2025
A long serpent made of glowing white and yellow fire, curved in approximately the shape of a backwards S. Astride the serpent, riding it almost like a broomstick, is a tall human figure wearing a fedora hat with a clock key sticking out of its back. The figure is dark brown, and illuminated by the fire. The background is bright reddish orange. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

February 10, 2025
A tall, dark brown column of soil stands isolated,a greenish-yellow sky in the background. The column is shaped a little like a tornado, the top part flat, tapering off toward the base. The ground it's standing on is unseen. The effect suggests ground at a higher elevation, hollowed away by erosion or heavy machinery until only a remnant of the original topography remains. Sticking out of the column of soil are small roots. Sitting on the flat part is a small red house with two white-framed windows, a chimney, and a tiny porch. In front of the house is a red mailbox. In the sky, two birds are circling. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A short, rust-colored robot wanders through a reddish field under a yellow sky. The sun sits in the top right of the sky. The robot's head and torso are large and boxy, with thin pipe-like arms and legs. The robot's head has three googly eyes stuck to it. On the front of its torso are some knobs, dials, vents, and a rectangular exposed compartment with red wires in it. It is facing the viewer, holding up its left hand. Perched on its hand is a reddish bird with a green iridescent tinge to it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

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".

February 7, 2025
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 sphere falls through the darkness, leaving a vaporous reddish trail. It is glowing red in both the back and the front like a meteor. The background is a very dark, warm reddish-brown. The sphere has a face: two closed eyes and an open, laughing mouth. It looks like the "haha" reaction on Facebook. One side of the face is glowing orange-white, maybe from an unseen light source, maybe from the heat of travel itself. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A figure with horns stands silhouetted in a blaze of red and orange light. The light is tinged with fluorescent greens and blues. The figure is casting a long indigo shadow and is staring at one of its hands, from which yellow fire is rising. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A silvery flying saucer hovers in a clear blue sky, the sunlight glinting off it. On the underside is a glowing white opening from which a beam of light extends down. Directly under the saucer is a conical hill covered in green trees. In front of the hill is a small yellow diamond-shaped sign; the kind you'd see on any North American road. The sign has a black icon of a flying saucer on it that matches the saucer behind it perfectly. 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 reddish hill under a red sky. Hanging in the sky to the right is the thin yellow crescent of a large moon. The horizon is golden. Placed on top of the hill with no one around it is a telescope pointed at the moon. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A bright red ghost stands in the dark, surrounded by glowing bioluminescent-green mist rising up from the ground. The ghost looks like the silhouette of a person covered in a bright red sheet. Its left arm is outstretched and hazy, fading out. It is holding a bright red balloon on a string. There is no visible light source, but it seems to be lit from two directions: an eerie greenish-blue light from the rear, and a yellow light from the front. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A blazing yellow and orange sky over a dark maroon field. Hovering in the sky is a vast, roughly teardrop-shaped rock with a churchlike building on top of it. The building has a tall central steeple and multiple pointed roofs. Both the building and the rock are a dark maroon. The bottom of the rock is illuminated crimson, suggesting the sun is near the horizon. The building has glowing red and yellow windows. A few birds are in the air around the building. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A tall, blurry figure with a stovepipe hat stands against a grayish-tan background. In the top right, a hazy sun casts a watery yellow light. The figure's only facial features are two glowing eyes. In the center of the figure's chest is a glowing green circular window the iridescent color of a holograph. A bluish silhouette is visible in the window. 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.

January 28, 2025
A blazing multicolored background: red, orange, and yellow at the top, and yellowish green below. In the center is a dark blue, purple, and black face with two glowing bluish eyes and a smiling mouth. The mouth and right eye have glowing trails running down, as though the paint has run. The top of the face has similar trails rising up, suggesting flames. Above the face is a halo, half black and half yellow. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

January 27, 2025
A small figure with unusually long and upraised arms stands in an empty space. The ground is so dark it looks mostly in shadow: black, with an accent of dark blue. The sky is a wild mix of gold, blue-green, and some crimson red mixed in. The figure is dressed in a dark, navy blue suit and tie, has no head, and is juggling four eyeballs. The irises of the eyeballs are green, blue, yellow, and red. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A multicolored blob of rainbow hues: red, yellow, bioluminescent green, ultraviolet purple, all on a black background. The blob has a cartoonish smile and four googly eyes facing to its right. Above it is a hazy glowing greenish halo with ultraviolet blue tinges. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

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".

January 24, 2025
A blazing yellow fire in a dark area. This looks like it is in a cave, going by the earthy brown of the background. The fire covers most of the floor. Rising up from the floor on the right side is a rocky black cliff, reflecting the firelight. Perched precariously on the edge of the cliff, about to roll into the flames, is a giant spherical bomb. The bomb is rust-colored and has a smiley-face stamped on its side. A thin string of a fuse protrudes from the top. The right side of the bomb is lit with a neon-pink light, the source unseen. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

An uneven brown desert surface sits under a reddish-orange Martian sky. A small brown Mars lander sits on the surface. The lander has three feet, a large parabolic dish aimed at the sky, and a smaller blue solar panel. Two large googly eyes are stuck on the side of the Mars lander. There is a ventilation slot on the side of the lander as well. The eyes are oriented up and to the left.

January 22, 2025
A pink, luminescent blob that looks sort of like a Pac-Man ghost: round, with short, conical tentacles. The blob has two googly eyes haphazardly placed on it, and a gold star sticker beneath one of the eyes. There is a glowing green halo above its head. It is traveling to the right. It is in a dark, featureless space. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

2025/01/21

January 21, 2025
A clear blue sky with bright yellow on the horizon, as though it is sunrise or sunset. A large person sits in a small boat that hovers in the sky. The person is holding a fishing rod. The line hangs down and is held in the hands of a smaller person standing on the ground. Yellow sunlight reflects off both people. The person is standing on a small hill. In front of the person, leading towards the viewer, is the dim bluish suggestion of a road. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
