I finally get to share something that’s been living in my mind, my hands, and my summer for a long time. I just finished a new piece that honestly feels like one of my personal masterpieces. I don’t say that lightly. This one pulled something out of. It feels like such an accomplishment to have finished it. I feel like I dedicated myself with this one.
I started it months ago, wandered away when my attention drifted, then kept coming back whenever the spark hit again. Finishing it feels like closing the loop on a creative journey, I didn’t even realize I’d been walking.
It pushed me into new territory, especially with the skin tones. I’ve been practicing them for months, blending blues and reds into tiny faces no bigger than my fingernail. The details around the picnic scene are microscopic, but they feel alive.
This painting came from a dream I had years ago. I was wandering through a huge room filled with artwork, and this exact piece was hanging on the wall. The positive and negative whales floating in the sky. The tiny orange fish swimming towards me. The thick, glossy shine over the entire surface. It was all there, waiting for me to catch up.
And now it finally exists outside my mind.
I hope when you see it, you feel even a fraction of the wonder that pushed me to bring it to life. I hope it speaks to that part of you that loves the strange, the unexpected, the gentle collision of imagination and emotion.
If it resonates with you, if something in it feels like home or escape or possibility, you’re welcome to give it a forever home.
