Commissions

Your essence.
Your wall. Your brighter day.

A commissioned Joy Blast is an abstract portrait of who you are — your energy, your spirit, none of your physical form. It begins with time together: a meal or a drink, a real conversation. Then I paint your essence, in the palette that fits you, sized for your wall.

  1. Reach out and tell me about you
  2. Time together over a meal or drink
  3. I paint your essence as a one-of-a-kind original
  4. Delivered, ready to hang

Hi, I'm Charles.

I paint Joy Blasts — abstract portraits of a person's essence, their energy and spirit instead of their face. Color that arrives all at once and makes a room feel like a better day.

Prints of the collection are made to order by a boutique, high-quality fine-art reproduction print shop and shipped straight to you. Originals? Just ask.
