Just Beyond Art Print

Originally created for WOWxWOW gallery for the Gazing Into Infinity show,

Just Beyond is a nocturne depicting a little family of deer hanging creek-side in a stand of trees, shrouded by the evening humidity. Left of center, a curious fawn sticks close to mama on alert. A stack of does graze to the right, noses to the dirt, though one gal on the edge of the moonlit meadow seems to show some interest. Fireflies pepper the scene, like miniature lanterns hanging in summer twilight.

I wanted to make something that feels simultaneously nostalgic and a dream of the future, at least to me personally. The inspiration for this painting comes from my experiences as a young man, spending hundreds of nights camping through midwestern summers. In the first few weeks of June, tiny little pulses of yellow and green would signal the real start to summer. Everything felt mysterious yet promising – the darkness wasn’t scary anymore, it was soft. Magic. I looked forward to it every year and felt it never lasted long enough. With my eye to the future, I can’t wait to see that staccato of yellow and green again, this time with my girls by my side
