From blank canvas to finished painting.

Here’s a look behind the scenes at the process of creating a self-portrait onto the Floating Head over the Desert. I always enjoy watching a painting change as the layers, colors, and details begin to come together—and sometimes the finished piece takes on a life of its own.

In this time-lapse video, you'll see the layers, decisions, and evolution of a painting that explores a powerful theme through art. I always find it fascinating how a painting changes along the way, often taking on a life of its own before reaching its final form.
