Happy New Year! This was one of my favorite watercolors of 2025! @janexmary and I traveled to the incredible @sugarbeachviceroy in February and it was very inspiring. I’m looking forward to more table paintings in the new year… #watercolor
Another painting from Ireland based on an aerial photo by @por.flavor leaving Dublin. I wanted to try to capture all the different tones and divisions of farm land I saw on the trip.

Snow scenes are a challenge! Here’s one of my favorites from February 2022 the day after I proposed to @janexmary featuring #jetthesigndog. This beautiful Japanese architecture styled cabin is in the heart of #woodstock and will always bring warm memories. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #snowscene #upstate #willvanzee
It’s been a year since my Dad passed. Still processing the grief and struggling to find my creative spark. Thankful for my watercolor practice but most of all my friends and family. I love you all. #thanksforeverythingdad
More tulips for #mothersday! The first painting is in a fast and loose style I’ve been developing more recently in my watercolor work. The second painting is another piece inspired by #sophietaeuberarp and the show of her work @themuseumofmodernart last year!

Haven’t been posting much, but I have been painting! Here are two watercolors nearly a year apart of Tulips at different stages of blossom. Tulips always remind me of my Dad.

A taste of Brooklyn! It’s pretty rare that I paint with so little architectural accuracy but simplifying the building for this painting really gives it the character and soul you feel in life!
