New Work, New Year

New Work, New Year
Knew Me, Knew You.

When we dont have any idea where we are going, we move forward in the dark. If we don’t see progress, we use faith and belief that it will. When we try something 10 times in a row and it doesn’t work we are faced with a choice. We can get in our head, talk down to ourselves, take it personally and question what we are doing. Or we can celebrate that we found 10 ways that don’t work and we are that much closer to a breakthrough.

This was exactly my situation with Sea Meditation No. 4. This piece sat in my studio for over a year I would paint over it dislike it and turn it against the wall. Eventually over the holiday break I woke up in the middle of the night with a clear voice in my head “Paint Calm. Create Peace”.

The final work came out effortlessly channeled through knowing it was meant to be in the world.

I also want to highlight a recent commission I finished for good friends Naveen and Diana. It was such a pleasure to work with them to create a piece for their amazing San Clemente, CA beachside home. Water No. 64 was based off a series of images Diana captured everyday. I combined all the colors to create a piece that captures the dusk and the dawn all at once. You can check out the process and making of here.

If you are interested in getting a commission please put your orders in for the new year! You can reply to this email, send me a text at 925-330-4428 or order one from my website.

Thank you everyone for your love and kindness and support. Everytime you purchase a painting I am able to take care of my family and continue this crazy dream of being a fulltime artist. Looking forward to an amazing 2023
