One is a still life in which the book Between Earth and Sky by Marie Neurath is displayed open on a table in the artist’s studio. The other is a plein air painting depicting a view from a train platform in the neighborhood of the artist’s studio.

The works feature a repeated motif of simulated rain and stock-image style drawings.
