A Midnights Glare with a Goldmines Affair

December 31, 2021

20″ x 16″

Painting Description:
A Midnights Glare with a Goldmines Affair — This painting expresses the mystery that the moon evokes after the sun sets and the night falls. I wonder how many others drift off into oblivion and curiously think about the universe, its intangibles and the forces that brought us on this planet. It also brings to mind the intimate moments we have with those we love at the peak hours of the evening. It’s all so wondrous and overwhelming. I thought the only way to truly capture it was through the stroke of paint, rather than the gift of gab.

A Glorious Manifestation of Brighter Days

20″ x 16″

Painting Description:
A Glorious Manifestation of Brighter Days — A brighter day begins with positive affirmations. It builds over time until reality takes shape from the constant visualization and concentration on its potential. I work each day to see the fruits of my labor come to life and I strive to paint the picture of my dreams on the canvas of my future.

Crimson in the Skies

December 29, 2021

16″ x 12″

Painting Description:
Crimson in the Skies — This painting captures the essence of how a red October sky fades as fall creeps in and the burning flames from the summer sun cooling down the season. Life is divided into seasons, the season for love and a season for reflection; a summer and a winter, a spring and a fall. Once the hurricane season concludes, the changes of the leaves will show their true colors until spring comes around and rejuvenates the nakedness of the trees and sprouts again anew

The Paint Guru

December 23, 2021

24″ x 20″

Painting Description:
The Paint Guru — I have titled this piece “The Paint Guru” as it embodies the artist at work, one stroke at a time. The artist is a craftsman, yearning to capture the essence with each stroke of the brush. The brush hits the canvas at a certain velocity capturing the detail and desire of the emotions involved. A guru is someone who is wise and masterful at their skill. I consider myself a student on his way to becoming a guru myself.

Ocean Sea Breeze

December 13, 2021

24″ x 20″

Painting Description:
Ocean Sea Breeze — Painting has played a considerable role in my new found love of the Arts — and the ocean nourishes my soul. This painting reminds me of the oceanic setting at Clearwater Beach, Florida.

Mystical Release of Pleasure

December 11, 2021

16″ x 12″

Painting Description:
Mystical Release of Pleasure — Mystical and magical is what I can describe about these colors. I had no color scheme to this painting. I just went with what felt right at that moment in time. I felt very creative and I just let my paintbrush roam free, allowing my body to go wherever it needed to go to make this masterpiece. I want the viewer to see this and see where their imagination takes them. The power of an imagination can take you to places where you find your dreams and pleasures that cause fulfillment.

Swinging Through the Jungle of Life

November 17, 2021

20″ x 16″

Painting Description:
Swinging Through the Jungle of Life — Life is one huge jungle of survival of the fittest. We are all trying to evolve to our best potential to flourish in our escapades. I’m a driven young man with many dreams and aspirations and look forward to being the face of struggle and overcoming them. I’m swinging through the forest like the King of the Jungle trying to find the next tree to climb and overcome.

Branches of the Wise Tree

November 17, 2021

20″ x 16″

Painting Description:
The wisest tree bares it all.
Sheds leaves during the fall.
Let the seasons do their thing.
As winter fades they are reborn in spring.
The branches are its arms and legs.
In the woods by the river,
the branches are for climbing
and to allow the tree to be a giver and lover.
For others to hang and others to hide,
in the shade away from the sunshine.
Its wisdom is timeless and uprooted for all.
The wisest branch gives love in the fall.

Starlight Gazing Back at Me

November 8, 2021

20″ x 16″

Painting Description:
Starlight Gazing Back at Me — This painting depicts the reflective stance I step into when under the moonlight. It’s glow, bright light, and appearance through a midnight sky lingers even after the night ends. I enjoy nighttime tranquility as it brings the day into a perspective that I can grasp, meditate on, and inspire me for the next day. There are hopes and dreams that illuminate from the beam of a star. It radiates and sheds light from the universe onto our small Earth as to say the possibilities are infinite.“

Relinquish Your Thoughts on a New Tomorrow

November 8, 2021

20″ x 16″

Painting Description:
Relinquish Your Thoughts on a New Tomorrow — Let go of your thoughts of a new tomorrow and stay awake in the present moment. That’s the key to life. The magic of the moment is where God and love reside. So many people are stuck in the future or the past, yet in the moment is where happiness can be found and truth reveal itself. I try my hardest to relinquish hope in the next day and strive to absorb the current one with the utmost positive attitude each day.

A Fire Gaze

October 27, 2021

20″ x 16″

Painting Description:
A Fire Gaze — A Fire Gaze is a painting meant to represent the burning desire that is seeing through the eyes of the viewer. The white light represents the burning from the flame. We all have a burning desire deep down and to tame that flame is to miss out on its potential push to our greater selves. I try each day to unearth the deep flame inside and warm others so that they too can see a fire gaze in their eyes.

A Passionate Loves Unity

October 27, 2021

20″ x 16″

Painting Description:
A Passionate Loves Unity — Passion derives pleasure from connection. We are passionate about many things in life, yet it almost involves connecting our spirit with another force that collides to bring out the most synergistic effects of delight and emotion. We dance, sing, and express ourselves with passion while embracing the alliance of the souls who come together because of a shared interest.

Cotton Candy

October 21, 2021

20″ x 16″

Painting Description:
Cotton Candy — This painting was inspired by a thought of how cotton candy would taste, like with these colors. It jumps off the canvas almost like I can taste it. One day I would like to try it.

Friendly Skies

October 20, 2021

20″ x 16″

Painting Description:
Friendly Skies — My painting depicts the way opportunity opens once the storm clears. Sometimes it can seem that the storm will last a long and dreadful time, while however, once the storm clears the warmth generated by the peeking sun brings a new light to our current situation. Life has many ups and downs. It’s important to learn from experience…and no matter the obstacle, one can overcome it. When your light shines your reflection will be even brighter.

October 6, 2021

20″ x 16″

Painting Description:
Painted Dreams — A dream is just a dream until your actions make it a reality. You can paint any picture you want in your life story, always remember that with perseverance and the love of the dream will make the impossible possible. I wanted to create purity with these colors to show how delicate a dream can be but how beautiful it can be if the dream comes to life.

An Orchards Planting of a New Seed

October 6, 2021

20″ x 16″

Painting Description:
An Orchards Planting of a New Seed — In orchards, planting of a new seed sheds light on a birth of a new generation. The spring is always filled with potential. The parent spills its seed onto the soil uprooting life, love, and lessons into the world. I see each day as a birth of sorts enabling me to view through the eyes of a child. The unknown and the uncertain, the ultimate and the unfortunate, all while basking in the sublime bliss of innocence.

Magnificent
