Four artworks: The first is a painting of a fire fighter in full gear and carrying an ax, walking away from a house where smoke billows out the windows with his arm around a small girl carrying a cat. The second is a drawing of two boys standing next to a river wearing shirts that say “Camp” and holding fishing poles. The third is a portrait of a black and tan dog looking upward with a focused expression. The fourth is an abstract painting with the silhouette of a face, circles, and curving shapes in bright reds, yellows, blues and greens.
