"I can see Clearly Now” is an original, signed 32 × 24 inch painting by Bisbee, Arizona artist Bill Mead, a serene yet delightfully surreal portrait where identity dissolves into atmosphere. A figure stands in an open field holding a goblet, dressed in layered earth‑toned clothing jacket, vest, patterned shirt, jeans grounded and human in every way except the one that matters most.
Where the head should be, a soft cloud merges seamlessly with the sky, crowned by a small hat adorned with a pink flower, as if the wearer has literally drifted into thought. A bold green agave anchors the foreground, while trees and a shifting sky complete the landscape’s quiet glow. Mead’s surrealism is confident and unforced; the improbable settles naturally into place, inviting the viewer to linger on the symbolism, the humor, and the gentle strangeness woven throughout. A vivid, character‑rich work from Mead’s Gravity & Wonder collection.
