I also tried these Irises from a reference photo my sister took. I enjoyed it much more than my landscapes.

Tried my hand at landscapes. I am not crazy about the product or the process but it was a good exercise. Gotta push those personal boundaries.

The Strokes are underrated. Zero bad albums. Every song fits in its space on the album and they found a way to br faithful to their style and also evolve over two decades. They’re in pretty elite company.

I love a good hoodie. I enjoy images with religious symbols, either because I add them or just the iconography we all absorb in our Judaeo-Christian culture. This red hoodie with a cloud-like pillow behind fits into that group for me.

I am I-have-never-posted-a-video-of-myself-crying years old.

This one came out smooth and slow. I love landscapes but they don’t usually work out for me. So I painted a person and slid a landscape in behind it. Don’t tell my subconscious.

Here’s another one that came out of my head, with a heavy dose of inspiration from Botticelli. Different for me but a lot of fun.

As usual, this piece was largely light and emotion driven. The calm, sleepiness of this one pulled me in.

If there’s a better start to a movie than Raising Arizona, I don’t know what it is.

The background on this on and the colors are big steps forward for me, I think. I love these “selfie saints” because they’re not just me trying to copy something.

I’m calling this one. This is a picture I snapped of my oldest kid back when she was around two. We’d just finished reseeding our yard and she was covered in mud (which I may still add). I told her to smile and this is what I got.

This one ended up being my most stylized yet. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

Couldn’t resist the light through the sunglasses on this one.

Another one. Polaroids are so nostalgic.

Great crowd in Huntsville, Alabama for No Kings protest.

My wife is the only person I can count on to listen to the music I send her.

Good bourbon is good.

WIP of a study of a beautiful painting by Logan Maxwell Hagege. His paintings are brilliant.

Gotta clean up the room.
