Hole 4 — Flowering Crab Apple, Augusta National

Masters week has become a quiet ritual in the studio.

What began in 2020 with Golden Bell has evolved into a long-view study of Augusta National… one hole at a time. Eighteen years, eighteen greens. Each approached not as an image, but as a problem of space, light, and consequence.

For 2026: the fourth hole—“Flowering Crab Apple.”

A par three that reveals itself slowly. From the tee, it feels open. Generous, even. But the closer one looks, the more it narrows. The green sits in tension, held in place by contour, contrast, and restraint.

The aim was to build that tension—to create an amphitheater where the green holds the eye, and everything else recedes into pressure.

Tea Olive, Hole #1 at The Masters

The first three paintings in my “Masters” series showcased Amen Corner — Golden Bell, White Dogwood and Azalea. This year? I decided to move back to one, Tea Olive, and tee up some Seurat stipples.

White Dogwood Live Painted at Circa’s Stadium Swim During The Masters

When the 2020 Masters Tournament was postponed until the fall… I decided to paint Golden Bell, and stream the process on Facebook. In 2021… I jumped to Azalea… again, streaming the process live.

With 2022 in the cross-hairs, I reached out to Mr. Jeff Victor at Circa to see if I could set-up shop at Stadium Swim to paint White Dogwood. When confirmed, we packed up the entire family, borrowed a dope whip (thank you Kurt and Debbie) — and set-off for Vegas.

Will ‘The Masters’ body of work become the next ‘Guggenheim Series‘? It’s the perfect marriage of art, performance (live streams) and my love of the game (six triples in my 2021 debut for a sterling 98).

Time will tell… for now? Let’s dig into the process of behind bad boy.
