New Images Complete

This week I finished up several images that I have been laboring on since Christmas.

Fig. 1: Slade 2019. Wild Things 2

The first is the series of 3 images with two boys, one Autistic and one struggling on the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. Though very different situations, both boys struggle to understand and control their environments.  Their mothers often interact and provide support to one another in their own struggles, therefore the boys are somewhat friends.  These boys are very much like the boy in the story, Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak, that I wanted to create the environment they imagine, where they are in control.

You can see all three images here: www.brenslade.com



I also finished the images for this family of 4 sisters (which you can view at the same link):

Their entire existence is beautiful and fragile, off balance and delicate.  Yet full of hope and joy.



Thanks to the recent webinars I have some new ideas going forward but wanted to finish these images out.
