Back home from Rehoboth! 🐻🎨🌊 This was my first time bringing the full SplashBear shop to Rehoboth Beach Bears, along with another year exhibiting in the art show. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, supported the art, or came to the exhibition. ❤️ A few favorite moments from a very busy weekend.

Much-needed Rehoboth beach time. ☀️🌊🐻 Taking a few hours to recharge before the Paws, Claws & Creativity exhibition opening this afternoon — then it’s back to vending tonight. Busy weekend, but I’m finally getting a little vacation into my working vacation. 😎🎨

From the first brushstrokes to the finished piece — here’s the process behind “Resolve.” 🎨 I always love seeing hours of painting condensed into a few seconds. This one really came together layer by layer. “Resolve” More of my work: splashbearart.com #OilPainting #ArtProcess #SplashBearArt

Say hello to Noir Stache 🖤 The newest character in my Noir series. I love the 70s vibes of this one — the flowing hair, the big mustache. While creating him, I kept thinking of Michael “Mouse” Tolliver from Tales of the City Digital charcoal portrait #splashbearart #portrait #digitalart #gayart
