You “like” turkeys… you like to eat turkeys. 😂 your strength is color, composition and making great stories and paintings. Maybe artists are really warriors against the status quo and fear.

Inspiring! But how do you get your finished paintings back to the studio? I love plein air painting, but so far only worked on smaller panels which I can transport in DIY panel carriers. But man, I really want to paint on large stretched canvases (without making a mess of the family car) :)

Damn, Ryan. I came here to watch you paint Santa, and instead, you’re over here dropping some deep life lessons. I’m going to be running your words over and over in my head. What a gift-thank you. I really appreciated seeing your process. There were so many great little moments... I love how you go back, fix, correct, and refine, yet it all still feels like every mark was made in one effortless stroke. And those massive blobs of white-love! I could honestly go on and on. Thank you for putting this together. I know these videos take time (and in this case, heart), and I just want you to know how much it’s appreciated. I do have a question for you (though I could ask 100!). Where do you find your Santa reference images and is there something specific you look for in a good Santa reference? Thank you again.
