A Very Personal Painting

Hi friends, I’m excited to introduce you to a brand new painting! I’m really psyched that the original piece was been sold from my show at Divine West Gallery so please let me know if you are interested in having prints available. Just so I can gauge interest 👀
Light trigger warning for the painting description. This one is heavy and reflects on thoughts that were roaming my brain last year during my health issues.

“Half Life”

In a different reality from our own I would have lived a half life. Mourned as a young star who burned bright but was extinguished too quickly, forever 32 and remembered for his beautiful paintings and kind smile. Denied the pain and pleasure of growing old because of a microscopic glitch in his system. Survived by a wife who wanted nothing but more for him but to be happy and fulfilled. But in this reality I have just begun my second life, not mourned as a memory but celebrated for my fight to stay. Given the ultimate gift of time.
