I wanted to take the time to share with you a little of my process and thinking behind my most recent painting "Dream".

As with much of my work recently it was created from my inspiration and a desire to incorporate pieces of my life while living in Asia. Many of you know that I grew up in Indonesia and also spent some time in Japan. There I found lush Japanese gardens with beautiful temples and arching bridges. A harmony between man and nature.

For this piece I've layered the scene with various interesting branching trees you might find in a garden like this with thin trunks as to not completely block your view.

I love illustrating intimate moments between people. This one, a lush green garden during the golden hour, a couple on a bridge exchanging whispers. Little motes of magic float in the air as the light changes.

"Dream" is currently available through Every Day Original.

Prints can be found in my Redbubble shop.
