I will be painting a series of portraits that will be filmed and edited to music along with stories telling the meaning behind what I paint and why. Music is one of the biggest drivers of who I am and how I paint. The creative process for me gets kindled by visuals and music. Most of the time I'll be on a plane going to an event and I'll be walking and traveling with my headphones on. It's not music that is popular. Usually ambient instrumental pieces. Stuff that makes me talk and dialog with my mentor and the best art director I know: the Holy Spirit. I see visuals in my head that turn into paintings and the music is a soundtrack. The more i listen, the Closer i get to him and the louder his direction. It is usually thought provoking instrumentals that spur dialog with God. The Holy spirit and I dialog over ideas and I start down a trail being led by him. There are certain songs that get this going and drive ideas home.  It's as if I get a spark, turn on these tunes and then it becomes a forest fire raging. That's how it goes for me. This turns out to be worship: living and operating in the gifting he has given me to draw others Close to him with what I love to do. The sweet spot.

So, I thought I would invite collectors to experience this process with me and see behind the scenes how it all happens.  Even though these will be quick performance pieces, they will be a sure way for you to see how it all plays out. I often tell collectors it isn't me doing the painting. It's as if I'm along for the ride. It's an honor and blessing. I will be painting some surprises too. Sit tight as you will see some really fun stuff airing on our video page over the next few weeks. I am working with a great buddy of mine Gustaf who is an insane electronic composer. His amazing work inspired me to want to do a collaboration. The Director of Photography is Willie T.

Talk to you tomorrow from the shoot.

Blessings,
