His most recent series uses an airbrush technique to create scenes abstracted by water-like patterns 91裸聊视频� the kind of light distortions seen when looking through a window on a rainy day.
He remembers driving around backcountry roads looking for subject matter during rainfall, and suddenly seeing the view through his windshield afresh.

I saw rivulets of water coming down and splitting colours in the background into different slices of colour 91裸聊视频� a pine tree became abstract rivers of greens and oranges, and I just saw how it affected objects and light. Suddenly a light turned on.91裸聊视频�
The event runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Guests will be able to enter a free draw to win an original painting.
