This watercolor/ink commission came together as the result of a chance encounter while urban sketching in Tucson. A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by someone who saw my work at a “throw down” a couple of years ago outside the sushi garden in Tucson. A relative had a selfie that he wanted turned into a painting. I had to adjust all kinds of “selfie” perspective to get the two characters looking about the same size. It was a fun project! Thanks Glen!
Hope is such a simple little word. Yet nestled within those innocuous letters lies life.

For the first time in a while I resisted the temptation to use color to highlight the wood grain. Instead, I relied on the natural contrasts between walnut and maple to differentiate between linear geometry and organic curves.
