Standing on a balcony against a brilliant blue sky, the subject of this painting seems slightly distracted. It’s not hard to share the feeling.

It’s been a while, huh? This painting never got the full reveal, so here it is now! “Remain in Light” is an 18x24” watercolor on Arches paper. It luxuriates in the feeling of surrendering to the beauty of the natural world and the world within. Thoughts?

Progress shots and finished painting “Quality Time”. This 11x14” watercolor was part of the same series as “Absent” from the previous post. It continues to explore the mild absurdity within the mundane contours of relationships.
Please leave your thoughts. Should I revisit this series?

Four stages of the 11x14” painting “Absent” from five(!) years ago. This was part of a series that definitely bears revisiting, depicting slightly odd domestic scenes, populated by a bunch of guys who look suspiciously similar to myself.
As always, feel free to contact me with questions & requests.

Someone else posted this painting a day ago and it got a lot of attention. Let’s see how my own post does. Lol
“Everything Zen” is a 15x22” watercolor that sold almost immediately upon release. Who would like to commission a similar piece for their own?

A large painting inspired by the photography of Ryan Glista. “Construction Time Again” pays homage to hard work and the appropriately industrial sounds of Depeche Mode.
The painting is long since sold, but please DM for custom artwork in a similar vein.

A different kind of pool scene from the last one. A very different perspective.
When painting tiles, I usually watch a movie and simply put in the hours. It doesn’t require much thinking, just a little attention and a lot of patience.
“Pool View, Puerto Vallarta” 18x22” - DM for purchase info.

Who wants to get wet?
When the composition is fairly simple, the details really matter. I especially love how the pool deck turned out. Available here:

An appropriate one for another hot summer day. The picture subtly invites the viewer to ask whether the man is climbing amongst the clouds or simply an ethereally prosaic pool.
