We get a lot of "your work is beautiful!", or "pretty!", or "gorgeous!" and that is awesome, and we REALLY appreciate that, but being honest, we want it to be more than that. We want it to be intriguing, meaningful, badass and have more under the hood. Not only are we painting beautiful things, we are painting 23 years of John owning a landscape company and NOT painting. We are painting that same amount of years of Jeff doing graphic design to meet client objectives and NOT necessarily creating anything for himself. We are painting passion — and inspiration, and contrast, and work ethic, and faith, and questions, and anxiety, and fear. Our artwork and our lives are caught somewhere between "pretty" and all of those things.
