He’s done! My big beautiful baby boy is finished. I’ve put a lot of work into this 20x24 painting as it holds significant meaning for me and represents my current philosophies as an artist and naturalist. This painting, “Watching”, presents a new concept regarding the personification of the natural world and its powers through mystical creatures. Beings that exist simultaneously beyond and amongst the environments they represent, acting as embodiments of traditional legend and folklore. He may seem imposing or malevolent, but like nature itself he remains neutral in all things, simply watching the lone traveler as he braves through the storm.The intention is to remind us viewers of a respect we should hold for the world around us. That we are not gods over all living things, but rather a part of the natural world order. Despite all our accomplishments and progress, if caught in a blizzard or hurricane we are just as vulnerable as the next creature.“Watching” will be exhibited pretty heavily in the next few months at multiple shows, hopefully some of you will get to see him in person! Original artwork 20” x 24” Oil on canvas 3/4" deep edges
