Direction Lost
Many times in life we have dreams or aspirations. We hope to achieve those at some point. However we can get off track. We get distracted from what is important. This piece represents a grouping of images that use that idea literally. The frustration shows through when you are losing direction. Workbench monologues is a series of abstract surreal surf art and landscape paintings that often focus on a theme. That theme could be environmental, personal growth, or any other similar topics. I will hide images within the work such as eyes, animals, or subject matter related to the overall theme. They are very organic and texture heavy. Zoom in and take a closer look at paintings within the paintings and see what there is beyond the obvious.
I offer surf art prints on various materials. Don’t see the size you need, try my custom size option or send me a message. Want the original? Check to see if it’s available in the original’s section of my site.
