ANXIETY

ANXIETY - 20 x 16 - egg tempera on panel

Panic stricken, crying fear. Anxiety is ever near. Heart beat racing, black despair. Take a valium and be happy dear.

James Butler

PHOBIA

PHOBIA - 20 x 16 - egg tempera on panel

A darkened pond, a freudian fen. The peace that comes when a heart subsides. The ultimate Phobia in all of us resides.

James Butler
