Rest in peace, Koi Pond painting. 🐟✨
You lived fast, fell hard, and bent your corner beyond repair.
May your spirit live on in my next creation. 🎨

Master copy of Gustave Doré's "The Hermit on the Mountain." Originally a print, I translated it into a biographical painting. I stand from a great vantage point, anticipating incoming storms, appreciating my position and the protection from surrounding land.

If you're struggling:
Revisit the fundamentals.
Identify gaps in knowledge.
Focus on core skills.

Here's a page from my watermedia sketchbook. I conducted several value studies to improve my tonal variations in my gouache work.

As our boat drifted gently across the
Caribbean, the sinking sun cast its final act in
majestic color. It wasn’t just a sunset; it was a
send-off. This painting captures that fleeting moment
when beauty hits hardest—at the end. #carribeanocean
