Art of Josh

I am a figurative watercolorist, which means I make watercolor art featuring the human body. This is a deeply personal spiritual practice for me. https://artofjosh.gallery

My latest at @rollingstone.com: "Christian Reconstructionists, reactionary Catholics, and Silicon Valley magnates long to "save" Western civilization by replacing our democracy with a Caesar who will rule without the burden of checks and balances." apple.news/A_srpnfxXSnO...

Will painting on-site solve all your problems as a painter? Of course not, but it sure helps you to loosen up, to make decisions quickly, and to remember how much fun painting can be. 45-minute watercolor sketch I did the other day for my class in Rome. "Piazza Biscione" 15x11 inches

i love life drawing so much like yeah let’s just be here and try to record the overwhelming wholeness of the moment and all of the energy that makes us alive together in this gooey wildness what else matters? make of yourself a sensitive recording plate

I continue to make art at my normal speed, but share less and less on social media. It’s kind of fun making it privately and showing it to people who are interested online and in person.
