Pandemic Painting #15


West South

18" x 24"

I'm still taking requests...

Click HERE to send me a message about the beautiful trees blooming behind your house, the crusty barn that has nearly fallen over, or that old pickup that has converted itself into a native plant garden.  I had a lot of fun last week driving around Greene County painting pictures in your backyards and yelling at you in conversation from a safe distance.

To be clear, your invitation does not obligate you to purchase a painting.  In fact, for the time being, my paintings are not for sale.  If you have a few bucks to throw around, consider donating to your local school's cafeteria or any other charitable food service...they're still serving lunches to hungry students.  My Bloomfield friends can help out here:  https://www.gofundme.com/f/bless-bloomfield

Essential Travel


Pandemic Painting #3

If you're a local, you've probably recognized my subject matter as of late.  I'm always looking for new "sweet spots" in my neighborhood...

Do you have hidden gems in your backyard?  You know the stuff I'm talking about...dilapidated buildings, weeds growing through rusty metal, a beautiful vista obstructed by a lawn mower?

I'm looking for new places to social distance myself next week...if you've got great subject matter and don't mind me tromping around your lawn, get in touch with me at wyattlegrand@gmail.com.

Pandemic Paintings

As some of you may have assumed, I've produced quite a few paintings as of late.  I figured I'd share them with you, just in case you need another thing to look at on the internet.  I call them pandemic paintings, but they're not as depressing as that sounds.  I'll post a painting each day.  I might sprinkle in some music every once in a while as well...or photos of my cat...you know, whatever.  

* NFS.  If you'd like to purchase a painting, don't contact me.  Instead, estimate the amount you'd be willing to spend on such a frivolous thing and donate it to your local school's cafeteria or any other charitable food service.  If you're tuning in from my neck of the woods, donate here:

We Done Told You



"Jesus Is Coming Soon" by Blind Willie Johnson

Well, we done told you, our God's done warned you,
Jesus coming soon.
We done told you, our God's done warned you,
Jesus coming soon.

In the year of 19 and 18, God sent a mighty disease.
It killed many a-thousand, on land and on the seas.

We done told you, our God's done warned you,
Jesus coming soon.
We done told you, our God's done warned you,
Jesus coming soon.

Great disease was mighty and the people were sick everywhere.
It was an epidemic, it floated through the air.

We done told you, our God's done warned you,
Jesus coming soon.
We done told you, our God's done warned you,
Jesus coming soon.

The doctors they got troubled and they didn't know what to do.
They gathered themselves together, they called it the Spanishin flu.

We done told you, our God's done warned you,
Jesus coming soon.
We done told you, our God's done warned you,
Jesus coming soon.

Soldiers died on the battlefield, died in the counts too.
Captain said to the lieutenant, "I don't know what to do."

We done told you, our God's done warned you,
Jesus coming soon.
We done told you, our God's done warned you,
Jesus coming soon.

Well, God is warning the nation, He's a-warning them every way.
To turn away from evil and seek the Lord and pray.

We done told you, our God's done warned you,
Jesus coming soon.
We done told you, our God's done warned you,
Jesus coming soon.

Well, the nobles said to the people, "You better close your public schools."
"Until the events of death has ending, you better close your churches too."

We done told you, our God's done warned you,
Jesus coming soon.
We done told you, our God's done warned you,
Jesus coming soon.

Read the Book of Zachariah, Bible plainly say.
Thousands of people, they did die, on account of their wicked ways.
