Apocalypse
16"x23" Watercolor on Paper 2007


Apocalypse was the last piece created for the Wall series on homelessness. The original reference photo for this rather remarkable painting was taken by Mr. Peterson not ten feet away from a busy, upbeat and adjacent windowed restaurant in NYC. See if you can find his signature (hint: it’s hand printed on a cardboard box).
