81597

 

(see key below)

This painting is a celebration of my love for my wife and hitting our 25 year mark, it is a painting showing how much I appreciate her, her curves, and how she can straighten me out when I'm on edge, or grumpy and jagged. It has words and heart shapes and our anniversary date hidden throughout the "reef" comprised of our bodies and our loving foundation, from rough and complicated rocky days, to "date nights", exploring, growing in love and eventually open seas, vibrant colors and smoooooth sailing...


 

There are several partial faces hidden throughout the painting, some are showing different emotions and levels of "bliss" and pleasure, this painting is a man feeling and admiring the curves of his wife's body, in the loving moments after...

It started as 2 flesh colored figures laying in bed, over time the coral consumed the figures and the reef took shape. The process of this painting was to not put my wife in an uncomfortable position by "opening our bedroom doors", but to push the boundaries of my own personal artistic limits, kind of testing how far I'd be willing to go, but tasteful. Then it started to take a meaning, like truly telling the story of our growing relationship, from rocky to smooth.

The initials "M" and "S" are hidden throughout the painting, as is our anniversary, August 15th of 1997 (81597) highlighted in yellow bottom right corner beneath the arm of my wife, highlighted in pink.

There are lips in the center middle just to the right of the Kissing Gourami's.

SEA LEVELS 415

  (see key below) This painting was inspired by my 2 youngest kids, Marcus and Maggie. We went on what they affectionately refer to as a "DADventure" (usually a hike or beach day), this time we went to the Golden Gate Bridge overlook at Vista Point and they asked me seriously if I thought the melting polar ice caps and global warming would ever cause the sea level to rise above to peaks of the Golden Gate Bridge, I thought, let's paint it...? I spent HOURS studying diver footage of the San Francisco Bay and learning about the mystique around the shifting currents and ice cold waters and watched a NatGeo special where they "DRAINED: ALCATRAZ",  I was intrigued and wanted to explore the topography around the entrance of the GGB (Bridge) so with the help of old videos and LYDAR scans of the Bay, I was able to get this PRETTY-ACCURATE depiction of the bridge with the sea level at near peak.  This painting was the most frustrating and emotionally draining piece I hav...
