Ambiguation No.30 Oil on Masonite by Daniel Liam Gill, collection of Zack Czengöldi.

Oil on Hardboard

One of my favorite paint­ings of Samara, one of the most mag­i­cal peo­ple that I know. In the col­lec­tion of Zack Czengöldi, the rarest bird of all.

Oil on Hard­board The sec­ond layer of a Dys­pha­gia paint­ing, this por­trait of Julie no longer exists in this form. I sold the paint­ing before I had the oppor­tu­nity to pho­to­graph the final. It’s a thirty minute sketch but it cap­tures her essence. I do still have the strips of tape.
