Discover one-of-a-kind fluid paintings that capture the sea's endless movement, alongside bold color adventures that celebrate pure artistic expression. Each piece is an original creation, never to be repeated, bringing tranquil energy and vibrant life into your space.
Technique Notes
The unique vertical format allows the swipe technique to create flowing movements that cascade from top to bottom, mimicking the way morning light streams down from sky to water. The warm golden tones interact with cooler water blues to create the complex color relationships found in actual sunrise reflections on water. The tall, narrow canvas allows for dramatic vertical flow, creating a sense of upward energy and light that smaller formats cannot achieve. The black metal frame provides strong contrast that intensifies the warm luminosity within.
Display Suggestions
Perfect as a dramatic vertical statement piece in entryways, narrow wall spaces, or alongside other artworks where its striking tall format creates visual impact. The morning sunshine palette brings warmth and optimism to any space—ideal for hallways, breakfast nooks, or offices where positive energy is desired. The distinctive 16" x 40" dimension creates commanding presence while fitting elegantly in spaces where width is limited. Works beautifully in contemporary settings where bold,vertical elements add drama, or in spaces with standard ceiling heights where the tall format draws the eye upward.

J. Derek Riddle
Artist, Owner
Welcome to JDRiddleArts, where the fluid beauty of the ocean meets the spontaneous energy of abstract expression.
I'm JD Riddle, the artist behind every piece you see here. My journey began years ago with watercolors, but I've evolved into acrylic pouring techniques that mirror what initially drew me to art—the unpredictable, organic flow of natural forces.
My Process: Working from my Red Bank, New Jersey studio, I use fluid acrylics that dance and merge in ways I can guide but never fully control. Each piece emerges through a collaboration between artist intention and natural flow, much like the ocean's constant recreation of itself.
Recent Recognition: Featured at the Guild of Creative Arts in Shrewsbury, NJ, and selected for the 45th Annual Juried Exhibition at the Monmouth Museum.

I saw these pieces first on instagram where the artist shows his process. I found the process fascinating to watch and then fell in love with the art. The piece is as beautiful as I expected. There is so much depth and layers of color and magic! I love having it on my office wall.
Great quality, great colors, and great framing. This piece really makes our space pop!
