Under the Mistletoe, Heavy With Want

Watercolor pencils and varying-thickness black Sharpie marker on gessoed, hand-sanded canvas board, visible tooth and grain preserved. An abstract, surreal holiday tableau of a massively ultra-muscular male couple locked in a slow, intimate kiss beneath hanging mistletoe. Their physiques are monumental—colossal deltoids, barrel chests, thick necks, corded arms—rendered with expressive exaggeration. Bold Sharpie contours define mass while fine ink hatching adds depth and tension. Watercolor pencil fills bloom softly within inked boundaries, creating layered washes and subtle bleed. A restrained holiday palette of holly greens, crimson, berry, pine blues, antique gold, and snowy white dissolves into atmospheric abstraction. Tender, powerful, reverent, and unapologetically masculine.
