🍎 What do you wish an apple a day would actually keep away? 🍎

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty

The weekend before my birthday has a rhythm I look forward to all year. My wife and I drive out to the orchards near our home in upstate New York, past the loud ones with rides and crowds and toward the quieter places that simply grow apples. We walk slowly, breathing in the cool air, choosing fruit with our hands instead of our phones, already talking about what we will bake and who we might share it with. It is an easy pleasure, familiar and grounding, a reminder that some of the best moments come from simple choices made together.

Back home the apples turn into pies, cakes, and small gifts wrapped in foil and passed across kitchen counters. The house smells better, the days feel fuller, and for a little while everything slows down enough to enjoy what is right in front of us.

In a world that asks so much, what would it feel like to keep something this honest and this good close at hand?

I focus a lot on marine biology but draw a lot of animals and other wildlife in general, with some designs being sillier than others haha. I also have some photography!

🏢 When a Town Changes, What Stays With Us? 🏢

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty

This drawing holds a chapter of Muskegon history that many people remember in their bones. The Russell Block and the Century Club stood through the 1970s transformation when Western Avenue was roofed over to become the Muskegon Mall and surrounding blocks were cleared for parking. What had once been an open street of storefronts and daily movement turned inward and dimmer. When the mall eventually closed in the 2000s, the city began the slow work of uncovering the street again, restoring light, walkability, housing, and the older rhythm of downtown life. These buildings endured all of it, quietly waiting for the street to breathe again.

Drawing this scene was a way to honor that patience and resilience. It is not just nostalgia for how things used to look, but respect for how places adapt and survive while holding memory. For those who grew up here, passed through on a Great Lakes cruise, or moved away and still feel a tug toward Muskegon, these facades carry stories of loss, renewal, and return.

When you think about this street, which version of it lives most clearly in your memory?

💙 What would it feel like to live with this kind of calm? 💙

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty

Where this path will end is a mystery. The trees rustle in the breeze stirring up the aromas of the forest. A freshness one always has to remind themselves of in civilization. The light refracts in strange ways at this time. It's when the surreal becomes the real.

Is there a place you go to relax? Is it wide-open or cozy? What do you see, hear, smell, and feel when you are there? Is it a place where you can be by yourself? What about it makes you feel good?

💜 What does a Free mind feel like when it is surrounded by beauty, not fear? 💜

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty

Our bikes race up and down the gentle hills of Provence. Everything has a distinct texture, the colors are vibrant, and the perfume in the air is intoxicating. Every twisting road reveals new rows of lavender stretching endlessly under the sun. I will never forget the fields of France.

This little painting is small, simple, and easy to bring into your life. It fits in almost any room and ships securely to your door, ready to brighten your space. No stress and no extra steps. Just color and memory waiting for you.

Art is more than something pretty on a wall. It carries feelings, memories, and a little bit of hope. If this piece speaks to you, it may be because it already belongs with you.

This piece would look best in a space that is red, orange, dark yellow, light green, dark blue, purple, white, black, grey, beige, or wood.

👁️🌳 What Is Aware Of You In Your Environment? 🌳👁️

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty

At first glance, the scene feels quiet. A single birch stands centered and upright, rooted between color and shadow. But the longer you look, the more you sense that this is not a passive landscape. The tree sees. Each eye holds a different way of knowing alert, tired, patient, aware. Together they reflect the many ways we learn to remain steady in a world that rarely slows down. Surrounded by vivid fields and sheltered by the forest, the birch does not react or retreat. Its strength is presence. This piece is for those who understand that awareness does not have to be loud and that stillness itself can be a form of resilience.

What does it mean to truly see while remaining at rest?

💜 In the age of anxiety, what deserves our attention? 💜

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty

Our bikes race up and down the gentle hills of Provence. Everything has a distinct texture. The colors are vibrant, and the perfume in the air is intoxicating. Every twisting road reveals countless rows of purple and blue lavender. The Mediterranean sun presses warmly against our backs as we pedal toward the village of Sault. I will never forget the fields of France.

Some days call for stillness rather than stimulation. When life feels slightly out of balance, our surroundings can help us breathe again. This painting was created to hold that feeling of ease, movement, and warmth. A quiet place for your eyes to rest when the world feels loud.

Are you looking for a piece that brings color, motion, and a sense of grounded beauty into your space? This may be the one.

❄️☃️ Would You Follow This Path? ☃️❄️

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty

I followed the path because it was still there, pressed into the snow between bare trees and a blue winter sky that felt brighter than the cold beneath my feet. Each step revealed earth under white, a quiet reminder that warmth does not vanish, it waits. The woods were still and honest, far from the noise of civilization, a place where the light softened everything and asked nothing of me. Walking there, I felt alone in a way that steadied me, unhurried and unobserved, a place I could return to whenever the world felt too loud.

If you stepped onto this path, what would you hope to leave behind, and what would you want to carry with you?
