Familiar places are brought to life with a mix of colors that bring the energy of a place alive on canvas. <\/p>\n<p>Describing his inspiration, he puts it in two categories: observational and emotional. \u201cThe inspiration comes from life, the things I see that I want to challenge myself to capture with paint marks.
