Look Behind You” (1998) – Watercolor by Gregory Michael Maness

$199.00

A warning in watercolor, a parable at sea.

At first glance, “Look Behind You” appears to celebrate teamwork and abundance—four fishermen, thigh-deep in the shallows, haul in a heavy net bursting with the sea’s generosity. Their faces are turned in unison toward their prize, locked in focus and camaraderie. The colors are vibrant, the water inviting, the moment hopeful.

But in the background, a revelation rises—literally. A sea serpent, painted in playful yet ominous hues, rears its head with wide eyes and a gaping red mouth. Is it startled, amused, hungry? The title whispers the truth: Look Behind You.

This clever composition challenges the viewer to reflect not just on what is seen, but on what is ignored. Are the fishermen catching the sea’s bounty—or is the sea preparing to catch them? Grego turns a simple seascape into a fable, where hubris and overexertion blind the laborers to the lurking consequence of greed.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The painting doubles as ecological commentary. Take too much, look too little, and nature may reclaim what’s hers—in unexpected, monstrous ways.

An Original, One-of-a-Kind Oil Painting by Artist Gregory Michael Maness 

Step into the golden glow of harvest season with Chardonnay Summer, a masterful oil painting that captures the soul of California’s wine country. The focal point—a laborer bent under the weight of an overflowing harvest backpack—embodies the grit, toil, and passion behind every exquisite bottle of Chardonnay. You can almost feel the relentless summer sun radiating off the canvas, the scent of ripening grapes thick in the air. 

Beyond its breathtaking brushwork, this piece is a true sensory experience. The artist has seamlessly integrated vineyard wire and authentic Chardonnay grapevines into the frame, while real black crow feathers adorn the harvester’s hat. A cascade of hand-selected, high-end California Chardonnay corks lines the base of the frame, grounding the piece in authenticity. Grapes spill from the canvas in 3D, blurring the line between art and reality, inviting you to reach out and taste the harvest. 

More than a painting, Chardonnay Summer is an invitation—to step into the vineyards, feel the weight of the harvest, and toast to the beauty of craftsmanship in both art and winemaking.
