Upon seeing an impressionist portrayal of a subject, honest in its tribute to the nature of light, Josh is wide-eyed with wonder and cannot sit still until he is creating something equal in its ability to inspire.
His portraits are born when some striking aspect to a face, usually its expression or affect, captures his attention. He may modify that reference thought or image with an initial sketch or in photoshop before taking the traditional alla prima route: wet on wet, thin to thick, dark to light. Et voilà! His pieces are nuanced in subject matter as well as execution, like that quiet scene between action sequences that let you breathe.
Josh grew up on a balanced diet of Cartoon Network and Disney classics. Wallace and Gromit and Robin Hood were sketching favorites, although oil is now his preferred medium. He lives in Lincoln City, selling books, beachcombing with his girlfriend Madeline, and of course, painting.
