Kirk Dice

Warm oranges, golden yellows, and deep blue water create a feeling that is both energetic and calm. I love how the color here holds the mood — bright, textured, and full of movement, like the end of a long day settling into stillness.

What mood does this give you? What color stands out most?

People sometimes feel they need to be able to articulate why they want a particular work before they are allowed to buy it. That is not how it works.

The attraction does not need a defense. You do not have to be able to explain Lisbon Bridge View from Street to someone who asks; you just have to know it belongs in your space.

The explanation, if you want one, tends to arrive later on its own.

She set the dress on the chair before she left the room.

The curtains moved. The light came through anyway.

I painted this one because I kept thinking about the things we leave in a place — not belongings exactly, but presence. The way a room still feels inhabited even when it's empty.

"Dressed in Light" is one of the pieces I'm most proud of. The floor does most of the work.

There’s something about a city street scene that always pulls me in — the color, the motion, the little details that make a place feel alive.

This piece was all about capturing that everyday rhythm and turning it into something a little more cinematic.

How would you caption this one? Or what would you call this piece?

Nobody's sitting there anymore.

Two glasses. A crumpled napkin. Wine left in the bottle.

I don't paint the dinner. I paint what the table looks like after everyone's pushed their chair back and wandered toward the kitchen — that moment when the room holds the warmth of the evening a little longer than the people do.

That's the feeling I keep chasing. The light stays. The moment lingers.

To every dad, stepdad, grandfather, mentor, chosen family member, and anyone who has shown up when it mattered — today is for you.

This piece holds that quiet kind of love that doesn’t always need words. The closeness, the stillness, and the shared moment by the water speak to presence, protection, and care.

Father’s Day can be about more than tradition — it can be about gratitude for the people who steady us, support us, and remind us we’re not carrying life alone.

I don't make large print runs with my signature. Never have.

When a painting sells out, that's it. I don't reprint. I move on to the next one.

If there's been a painting of mine sitting in the back of your mind, now's a reasonable time to check if it's still there.

This nighttime street scene glows with reflected light, rich color, and a strong sense of atmosphere. Blues, golds, and warm autumn tones work together to create a painting that feels quiet, luminous, and full of movement.

Where would you put this? Living room, hallway, or home office is where I’d place it. It brings mood, color, and a little evening magic to the wall.

She didn't offer. They both wanted the other one to go first. This one is available as a signed print — link in bio.

If you've been watching these paintings for a while — and you know who you are — this one's for you.

You don't need a reason. You don't need the perfect wall or the perfect moment.

You just need to decide to walk toward the warmth for once.
