This group includes the "whimsical" side of Sam's art. The
subjects for this style range from fantasy studies of nonexistent
times or places to surrealistic situations that can only be
found in Sam's mind.

Sam likes to practice his composition skills by working with absolutely no subject mater, using only shapes and color. He refers to this as:
These works have no intentional subject, but sometimes suggest
something recognizable to the viewer. Sam says that this
is the most difficult yet most rewarding of his styles.

The subjects and styles of Sam's two-dimensional work can best be described as "Varied". He has laughingly said that he is, "confused and has yet to find his direction". His three children, who are all fans of different styles of his work, tease him about having multiple personalities when it comes to his art. Sam refers to the 2 styles displayed on this website as: "Esoteric Flummery" and "Non-Objective".
