This man's Prologue to Troy, No.2 is a reworking of Lucas Cranach's Judgment of Paris, while two bluebirds on branches join the title figure in Elvira Among the Flowers.

That work, which is called In a Green Shade, was created a year after his first Mecklenburg Autumn series. Conjure Woman and a Zurbaran inspired painting called Baptism are part of his Prevalence of Ritual series and he created The Lamp on the 30th anniversary of Brown v. Board. He also created works like Summertime, Patchwork Quilt, and The Calabash, all examples of his collage works.
