About The Artwork
I was inspired by the form of the human figure. I hope people will feel a sense of who they are when looking at this. I sketched this in pencil first to enable me to refine the curves and forms before adding any paint. This is a break from my normal way of working. I'm excited to sketch again! It's been a decade and a half since that made sense to me. I recently expanded my understanding of my self as a Mystic Christian/Bhuddist and I feel this piece reflects a much higher level of patience than what I've been used to. I'm looking forward to seeing where this path goes next... This piece is on paper which is stretched and stapled onto a panel I built. I also built the cedar frame from a tree milled less than a mile from my house. The tree has been standing on a cliff in the area for over 100 years. It had become a hazard and I'm happy to continue it's life by making it part of this painting. This painting is currently on display in a gallery in Port Townsend Washington. It is for sale, but I don’t want it for sale in two places. Please contact mike@mikebiskup.com if you’re interested in purchasing.

MIKE BISKUP is a contemporary watercolor painter, musician, and caretaker of The Green Way in Gardiner, WA on Washington State's verdant Olympic Peninsula. Born in 1970 in Los Angeles, he spent his youngest years voraciously drawing quirky characters, complex contraptions and way out worlds with his two older brothers. Artwork flowed onto all of his papers at school bringing accolades from most of his teachers. At UC Santa Cruz, he swam in a richly blended stream of artistic freedom, Zen Buddhism and Native American spiritual consciousness while earning a degree in Fine Art. After school, Mike spent two decades homeschooling three intrepid children in the wilds of Port Townsend. Nest emptied, he embraced his role as a bringer of visions in the Artist/Shaman tradition elucidated profoundly by Joseph Campbell. At age 50, a powerful mystical experience shed new light on Everything… His paintings can be found in collections worldwide, notably that of Oscar-winning actress Patricia Arquette and Facebook Inc.
