Our sunsets are beautiful. However they are even more beautiful because of smog and air particles. This is a take on the Hobbit title. 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.
