Josh's paintings are a combination of the natural world and the world within his imagination. Essentially, he is a landscapist focusing on the desert he calls home. Josh sets the tone of the story that each painting tells, by painting moody and dramatic skies. He then blocks in the lay of the land. Adding mountains, cacti and trees. Next, he adds the figures, whether they are animals or people, and the objects they are manipulating. These tend to have a bit of a surrealistic element as the figures are usually solitary, within the Sonoran Desert and surrounded by the mountains encompassing Phoenix.
Josh works strictly with oil paint because of its quality, workability and the tradition behind it. He uses a very limited palette of primaries, brown and white. Mixing each color needed to expand his knowledge of the medium.
