A cob of blue corn. First layer is done. Dry. Repeat. Can't wait for that last part. Fall is coming and with it brings slow dry times for oil paint. Meditations on patients now aligning with lunar cycles and astronomical Idiosyncrasies. #workinprogress #newmexico #oil #painting #art #oilpainting #fineart #stilllife #corn #garden #magic #life #dubstep #edm #desert #future #modernart #juxtapoz #rangemag

The bees. Man they are just totally pissed off what with the pesticides on top of the constant theft of their food stores. It's in admirable to blame them for their anger. But we must remember the bees are industrious as fuck. And they move into our skulls about four years after they flat party t quit polinating the crops we can last to eat and so we don't eat and we die but the bees make it. Yes many are lost but they get by and when we are gone and our century of pesticide warfare subsides they thrive and make comb where we once pit comb in sensuous delight. So I say. Don't underestimate the bees. I've been watching them for a few years now. I enslaved a swarm. Built them a hive. And stole their honey the first year. But I won't steel their honey anymore. I just watch and bide my days. - - #workinprogress #oilpainting #partsofpaintings #wip #festival #dubstep #contemporaryart #gallery #art #painting #drawing #party #bees #nature #skull #instapainting #expansion #lsd #acid #human #portrait #farming #honey #honeycomb #juxtapoz #snowpeak #highfructose #artbasel #graffiti #streetart #strength #insects

Progress in slow motion while I get another layer of #oilpaint over the background. Must become dark only to become light again for that good old fashioned home cooked #texture. Then onto the skin tones and skull. The mind implodes. #workinprogess - - #painting #dubstep #mind #future #snowpeak #wip #contemporaryart #gallery #juxtapoz #streetart #graffiti #highfructose #jonathanlevinegallery #meditation #portrait #human #expansion #lsd #acid #festival

This one is about the mind. Specifically the waxing and waning of ou mind body Union so tenuous. Drifting in and out moments away here then there and suddenly we are free and we never see that person again. - - Only in its first moments This as of yet unnamed #workinprogess - - #oilpainting #painting #future #space #sureal #surreal #lofe #portrait #humans #meditation #snowpeak #wip #gallery #art #contemporaryart #juxtapoz #highfructose #yonderjournal #rangemag #rio2016 #dubstep #la #nyc #streetart

The mighty alligator juniper. Here naked waiting with patience for my brush to cloth it in needles. Sentinel of the desert and probably my favorite tree of all time. Oh yeah. Still needs its bark. #workinprogress - - - #painting #oilpainting #future #contemporaryart #modernart #newmexico #newmexicotrue #tree #trees #dubstep #nature #snowpeak #nomad #instapainting #landscape #art #gallery #juxtapoz #highfructose #yonderjournal #rangemag #desert

Scout bees head out into the unknown seeking a new home for the hive and the queen whom the hive has made. Mathematicians have proven the decision making process underlying the dance of the scout bees is the absolute most efficient way to come to a consensus upon the location of the new hive. And they need swift action in this precarious 24 hour expedition lest all is lost. We have abused he bees while they have bided their time knowing our skulls will make magnificent resting stations on their quest for pollen Here now the first layer is dry; momentarily to be forever transformed by the brush onwards towards its perfect future. #workinprogress - #painting #oilpainting #fineart #modernart #beea #beehive #nature #future #surreal #streetart #newmexico #newmexicotrue #dreams #dubstep #edm #folk #future #contemporaryart #instaart #instapainting #juxtapoz #highfructose #jonathanlevinegallery #portrait #death #rangemag #yonderjournal #farming

consternation and fortitude. Focus. Serenity. Strong wills and undying bending egos. All of this awash in the glow of evenings running mad though the forest headlong burnished like an ancient urn. Lips tight. Mind locked. Eyes closed. - - Brushin' out a life. #workinprogress - - #art #oilpainting #painting #contemporaryart #modern #life #faces #reality #dubstep #thoughts #instaart #instapainting #highfructose #juxtapoz #jonathanlevinegallery #surreal #future #brain #conciousness #rio2016 #olympics

Some people I've known. They are all good but some more interesting than others and yeah a few I'd love to forget forever but I can't and they will still live on inside of me forever as that is what we are: social creatures affecting one another. - - #workinprogress. nine of sixteen or twenty five. - -- - - - #painting #oilpainting #art #fineart #comtemporaryart #life #future #people #partsofpaintings #instapainting #newmexico #newmexicotrue #poety #friends #sureal #juxtapoz #highfructose #jonathanlevinegallery #streetart #wip #artist #experience #strangers #humanity #seasons #realism #portrait

The day before summer till the day after. Cyclum lunarum. Marking time at the edge of the universe. Floating. Reverie. The act of being. Alive and under the stars headed north to the mountains behind vast migrations and glacial transformation. Time vs Space. The unseen hand of physics accumulating wealth at out expense. Comets eating cosmic whales and space Dinos. Rocks with plants and water and dirt and worms. Our rock and our timepiece the moon. #workinprogress #oilpainting #gold #moon #lunar #space #painting #contemporaryart #juxtapoz #highfructosemag #jonathanlevinegallery #dubstep #streetart #future #nihht #alone #philosophy
