Sunrise Shadows

Sunrise Shadows

One morning whilst enjoying the sunrise and a mug of coffee, I noticed a beautiful display of shadows on my patio. I decided to capture this beauty in art 🧘‍♂️

Inspired by the photo below my friend, Alex Hemp, tagged me in X, I created a digital painting representing his garden 🥰

Evening at the Beach

Evening at the Beach

My work with simple shapes, curves, lines, and colors was all prep for this sort of art. One of my many art goals has been to merge my love of photography and painting. This is only the beginning!

Japan Pavilion Pagoda

My favorite pavilion at Walt Disney World's EPCOT theme park is by far Japan. One of the great aspects of the pavilion is the architecture. The pagoda was the inspiration behind this painting.

Robert’s Tree

Robert’s Tree

In 2021, I attempted to grow bonsai trees. One of the trees was going to honor my grandfather’s memory. I was going to make a miniature scene with a grandfather and grandson fishing under the tree. It was all about the memories of my late grandfather, Robert Marine, and I fishing when I was a small boy. The tree eventually died and all I had left were photographs of the tree. So I decided to paint the tree from those photos and then gave it to my grandmother as a gift.

View from Above

View from Above

I was inspired by the view I had from my bedroom at the time I painted this. So, I decided I wanted to make a landscape painting of the view. I may never physically be in that room ever again. But now, I have this to spark my memory.

Gateway to the Future

Gateway to the Future

My favorite pavilion at EPCOT in the Walt Disney World Resort is by far the Japan Pavilion. They have a Torii Gate there where you can see Spaceship Earth (the big ball). I love this scene and just had to paint it.

Sunset on 49

Sunset on 49

I painted this from a photograph I took of a sunset for a friend of mine. When their birthday came around, I painted it as a gift for their 50th birthday.

Sunset on Fuji

Sunset on Fuji

This is the first painting I created in my renaissance of 2021. As a part of this period of my life, I was exploring Japanese culture. I was attracted to Mount Fuji for its majestic beauty and its mystery as a volcano. It is an icon of Japanese culture and art. Since I have never been to Japan, I found a reference photograph online to inspire this painting.
