Bath Painting

My paintings present the viewer with opportunities to awaken to the beauty of the human experience through ordinary passing moments. Whether quick and fleeting, or slow and contemplative, these passing moments have the power to snap us out of the trance of thought and present life as it is. This painting is of my son as he played with the faucet in the bath. As with so many of the images I choose to paint, this is also an ordinary moment—caught spontaneously on camera with the subject unawares. Yet despite its ordinariness, it captures an innocent moment of curiosity and play, and a precious moment of fatherhood for myself. This piece holds a deep personal significance for me.
