Anon Comes Ian
"Anon"—it is coming. This piece is about Category 5 Hurricane Ian that slapped into the west coast of Florida. It was an elemental power that altered many lives. I was there. I found fish in my car in the morning. My condo was without power for over a week. The bottom floor of my unit was totaled. This painting is a conversation with those who experienced it, and/or those who might experience such an event on their own horizon some day—it's a way of life in Florida. Beneath the actual image is a cuneiform-inspired quote warning the viewer to, on reflection of any such event “...beware the sharp rocks of regret.”
origins
Keeping the process honest.
"Through meditation and daydreaming, a story about the human condition will occur to me, and I try to bring that to life on the canvas. I begin with loose thumbnail sketches to lay down the composition. When rendering the human form, I intentionally move away from precise anatomy, using the body instead as a vessel to portray pure emotion. Whether working with figures, still lifes, or abstracts, I go directly for the message—embedding my own cryptographic color code and ancient cuneiform into the canvas in a subtle way, so the viewer is drawn into a mystery."

The echoes of our past are the memories that reverberate through our daily lives, keeping our history alive within us. Meanwhile, thresholds represent the courage required to step forward, leaving the familiar behind to embrace the unwritten future.
As part of the overall composition is encoded the story behind the story in either the Peterson Color Code © 2026 &/or a modified form of the ancient Sumerian Cuneiform alphabet.
Human emotions, or situations, are truly timeless themes of our lives; universal and integral to being human. If either of these were include in a contemporary common alphabet, I would be paintings signs. To know it is there and yet not being able to read it actually, it becomes a mystery (?) compositional element.
Buying collector will receive a Peterson Color Code @2026 Chart; signed and dated by the artist. This document adds an extra layer of provenance.
