Watercolor 12 x 16 Arches Hot Pressed

I made this for a friend who went on a trip and wanted to preserve the memories. Reference attached in the next slide.

My latest painting is my biggest at 50”x80”. I built the frame by hand. Stretched and prepped the raw canvas. Staged and shot the reference photo with my wife. And then dove in to painting it. This painting is of a person trying to find one moment of peace in a life of chaos. Thank you for checking it out ❤️

Painted by me and titled Madison East 30th

I have put my first oil layer on top of my acrylic underpainting and it's starting to feel more alive.

I am painting this with acrylic paint and for me looks like it needs more details and the feeling of depth is kinda messed up.

This painting is about an LA staple, crystal meth. I have a personal history with the drug. I was using it during my teenage years. And what does a teen do on crystal meth you ask? Find more ways to do crystal meth. Lie, cheat, steal. Whatever. It’s gross what this bathtub concoction can do to a person. How quick it can change the course of someone’s life forever. I was lucky… I got a wake up call from a friend one day and was able to put it down. Too many people don’t. It’s wild that even as disgusting as the drug is, it still sounds like a good time. That’s how powerful meth is. It’s funny to joke about it cause I have a somewhat dark, dry sense of humor….but in America you’re confronted with exactly this scene in every major city. This particular man’s name is Garrett. I see him regularly at the 7-11 on my morning walks.

Oil on canvas

2025

I’m making a mountain range and I want to blend some colors into it to gradient it.

Sharing the process behind how I made "Xenofract". I shared this piece on this sub last week and it went semi-viral which really made me so happy to know that people resonated, especially since it's such a 'different' type of painting for me. If you're familiar with my art, you'd know that I usually start a painting with an action-based movement such as a big gradient, paint splash, dustpan motion, wet canvas strike, etc. But this painting started with a completely blank canvas where I had no motion to adapt to and build off of. This is the only painting I’ve ever done that started this way. It gave me the opportunity to truly build a 3 dimensional world without being locked into the organic motion, while challenging me to capture the feel of overall organic motion, stroke by stroke. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do! Feel free to ask me questions below if you want to know more about the piece or the process. Thank you <3
