The paints called in sick today.
Still a work in progress tonight. So, is the painting.
Hi all! Decided to reboot The Lovers series with this big piece and a classical frame. It’s 30”x40”, acrylic and ink on panel, framed. If you’d like to reserve it before it goes public, just give me a holler. Keep on creating! 🎨
Morning art drop for all you art lovers out there.
What title would you give to this set of paintings?
Monday morning progress… this painting has been evolving for months. How I found myself at this point, I’m not exactly sure. However, history has taught me that the creative path will eventually lead to a destination worth searching for. Happy Monday and have a great week discovering your path.
Rebooting The Lovers series because it’s quite clear that the world needs more lovers.
Swipe to see change. One step in front of the other. Figure it out as you go. Intuition will guide you.
Our most realistic portraits are abstract.
Just stopping by to wish you all a good day and good night and good weekend and good next week and good next month and good next year and good life. Goodness starts with you. Pass it along.
Kindness is best when it comes in pairs.
This is for all of you who voted and as you can see, gold won! Still in progress but had to try on the frame as see how it looks.

Greeting from the studio. One of these days I will get around to cleaning my desk but that day is not today. 😀
Finally fixed the heater in the studio and am back at the easel. (Bob Vila would be proud.) Something in progress tonight.
These two came back on the market today. Special pricing for those that ask. Super special for both. 20”x20”, original acrylic on canvas.
Q: What does the pirate steal in his free time?
A: Arrrrrrt.
Nothing to do with the painting but thought an art joke would add some positivity to the general conversation.
My car is ten years old and it is not a Lambo.
Commemorating one of those days in history where we all knew everything was absolutely messed up but we wanted to make it about us so nothing changed because we don’t change as much we wish we did.
A Lesson In Humanity
Prints: 8x10, 11x14. Framing optional.

I appreciate everyone’s patience with me this week while I was out of town. Sometimes the best way to get inspired is to get out of the studio for a few days. Also, all orders that came in this week will have a little something extra to show my appreciation. Thanks again! 🎨🎨
These are all evolutions of one painting on one canvas which means they no longer exist as physical art. Only digital.
One from my lifetime painting project.
My favorite series from 2022. Each painting started from the same place.
One of my personal favorites… coming soon.

Thank you for hanging out with me every day. You fill the quiet studio with life. I appreciate your kind words, music suggestions, compliments, fan art, tattoos, likes, shares and all around kindness that you pass along here. If the rest of the world was as kind as you are we would all be feeling so much better. Thank you. 🙏
Finishing up this new series of work, so I thought I’d drop a little teaser. Feeling kind and love the arts? Please consider sharing this video with the art lovers in your life. Thanks so much!
Dear Art Lover, Please be my plus one to the current showing of my thirty nine second, heart stopping drama, feel good, action-comedy of the year, entitled, “Cyan’s Lament.” Wonder if Anthony Hopkins would be interested in playing the role of “the artist,” in the upcoming Summer Sizzling Sequel, “Cyans Revenge?” Or maybe someone like Ryan Reynolds could bring some of that hallmark humor to the role. Who do you think should play this role? Tag them below. Thanks for watching! Your friend, Keemo
A little to tribute to #bobross. Everyone thinks he was teaching us to paint but he was really teaching us important life lessons.
The new book is getting closer! 🎉 "A Love Letter To Creatives Everywhere" (working title) will cover the early evolution of My LIfes Art Work, with photos, descriptions, and commentary of the first one hundred pieces. The images in this post are just a few samples from the different stages of the process. If this kind of arty stuff interests you, just head to www.mylifesartwork.com to learn more.
Pull up a chair for movie time and a story. 🎨☀️🍿 This is the second painting from the “Rules To Live By Series.” This series is about exploring the rules that we set for ourselves in life. I have long held the belief that all rules in art are self imposed. All of them. All. Of. Them. This is something I think about everytime I sit down to make anything. What are the parameters? Which colors? What subject? How big? What’s the point? etc… These are all things you have to define before you begin. So, with this new series, I really want to focus on the limitations by setting them all before I begin and then try to stay within those limitations with the hopes of uncovering something more about these nice little boxes we like to put ourselves in every day. Rules for this painting. 1.) Only paint. 2.) Only using colors that I have not used in the last ten paintings. Most ignored colors in my studio. 3.) Time constraint. Must be completed within 36 hours of beginning. Everything else is open to interpretation. It is easy to see that this series is not just about the rules of the painting but about the rules we give ourselves in order to function day in and day out. Maybe, just maybe, through exploring these limitations, we can learn more about what actually sets us free. Well, that’s my hope at least. Thanks for joining me on this journey.
Late night movie drop for all you art lovers. If you’re not an art lover, we’ll, then this is also for you. 👍🎨
While highly suggested, popcorn is not required for this forty five second movie. 🍿 Maybe I can ask David Lynch to direct the next one. 😂
I wanted to get Anthony Hopkins to read for tonight’s movie but I seem to have misplaced his number. 😂

Welcome to another episode of “Art Means More If You Clear Your Head And Open Your Heart.” Take a break for one minute. You deserve it.
It’s time for another episode of, “I accidentally splattered some paint on this painting so I decided to fix it the only way I know how and turn it into a new painting of course! 😀” Thanks for watching!
If tonight’s feature short film doesn’t get your foot tapping then I don’t know what I can do for you. 😀Thanks for watching!
Frenlees are now public! ❤️ And what better day than Valentine's Day to launch this project? Can't think of one. There are only 100 available! 1/1. Only .01e. Learn more about Frenlees here: https://www.frenlees.com/
I had to fire my overpriced marketing firm and start making my own commercials. You can’t even tell the difference! 😂

For part of this ongoing painting project I covered a bunch of the painting with masking tape and then painted a new painting over it. This time-lapse is removing that tape so that parts of the old painting would show through the new painting. This making yet a new painting all together. Hope that makes sense. 😀😀 Thanks for watching! Learn more about this art piece at www.mylifesartproject.com
