Poplar and cedar frame made by myself. Oiled finish.
Do you pay your taxes? Where do they go? Bombs mostly right? Why is that? 

Because death is a religion in our world. 

I say we should reject this and bring ALL people everywhere together by infiltrating the minds of angry people with PEACE, honor, love, etc. We are one human family.

In my paintings, everything flows together. Diverse colors, lines and shapes - People, places, plants and things are woven into one harmoniously functional ecosystem. I want to subtly remind viewers that we humans, in all our diversity, are essentially interconnected, and with thoughtfulness, can function together harmoniously as well.

This piece is paper stretched over a wood panel. Paper: Fabriano Artistico and Arches, acid free, 140lb. I stretch wet paper over wood panels which makes something like a paper 'canvas' to paint on. Artwork is isolated from wood panels with neutral ph polypropylene film that is sandwiched between the panel and paper. No more wavey watercolors. :)

Varnish: For framed pieces, I seal paintings with Gamblin Cold Wax Medium. This adds a very thin layer of bees wax (not visible) on top of the painting which permanently seals it. This allows gentle dusting and eliminates the need for glass.

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. Galleries: The Green Way in Gardiner WA, Bainbridge Arts and Crafts on Bainbridge Island, Face Guts Los Angeles, info and online gallery at www.mikebiskup.com
