Lately I’ve been finding myself painting the sun over and over again.
Not intentionally at first — just following whatever keeps pulling me back into the work.

What I love is that the sun never really has to look the same twice.
It can feel soft, violent, hazy, sacred, heavy, distant, alive. Sometimes it almost becomes the subject of the painting, and sometimes it’s just there changing everything around it.

I’ve been experimenting a lot with how light moves through atmosphere, water, and color — trying to capture more of a feeling than a literal scene.

This one felt like a quiet kind of energy. 🌞🌊

I never get tired of painting the California coast. ☀️

MORRO BAY PAINTING WORKSHOP WITH COLLEEN GNOS & WADE KOKIAKOWSKY! Join artists Wade Koniakowsky and Colleen Gnos for a two-day painting workshop set along the stunning Central Coast of California at the Morro Bay Art Center. This workshop is designed for beginning to intermediate artists who want to explore the beauty, movement, and atmosphere of the ocean through wave painting and seascapes. Working primarily in acrylics (with oils welcome), participants will complete one painting each day while gaining a deeper understanding of ocean dynamics, light, and color. Link is in my bio and stories to sign up!
Something about the sun 🌞……. Anyway, I’m happy with it.

The online auction is officially open!

This collection leans heavily on studies—pieces created in a more instinctive, exploratory way, capturing fleeting moments of light and movement.

There’s an honesty to them that’s hard to replicate. Grateful to share this body of work with you.

15 originals available. Bidding is open for 9 days. The one pictured here was painted on location. It’s called “South of Children’s Pool, La Jolla” and is available for bidding.

Check out my stories for the link!
Do rad stuff.

Sharping another one from my upcoming online auction (bidding starts Monday).

“Overlooking Blacks” 11x14” Original oil on canvas panel.
This study was done for a larger piece for an event I’ve been involved with for years “The Legends of Science and Surfing” Benefitting Moo’re Cancer Center at UCSD. The larger piece netted just over $6000 at the event auction.

Get on my email list if you want the auction link!
My upcoming online auction is going live next Monday!! I wanted to start sharing some previews of paintings that will be included in this collection of studies.

1. “Bixby Bridge, Big Sur”
I’ve always been drawn to this view of the bridge. The last time I painted there, the wind was howling—it actually picked up my easel with the painting on it and nearly sent it over the rail. My wife managed to grab it just in time. That experience stuck with me, and I think there’s a bit of that energy
still living in this piece.

2. “Looking Toward Torrey”
Statice aka Sea Lavender, which blooms primarily from March to early summer in San Diego is one of those elements that lights up the scene, whether in painting or in a walk along the bluffs. The way the plant lines this trail looking from Del Mar toward Torrey Pines is a great visual component for this scene.

3. “Reef Pass, French Polynesia”
Inspired by a painting trip I took with my wife to French Polynesia in 2024. I kept an eye out for any waves I could see in the many reef passes we sailed through. Many are very short, but some are amazing. I’ve been told that most of the surfable waves there are reef passes. The painting is inspired by things I saw but it’s right out of my imagination.

You’ll need to be subscribed to my email list to get the link for the auction. You can sign up at the link in my bio!
Thank you to all who came out to witness Texas surf history.
Hi!! I’m Wade. I’ll be sharing a little more of the story behind my art these next few weeks. Let me know if you have any questions for me in the comments! I hope you enjoy and thanks for following along!
