In the 1990s Reiss moved back to painting.
He spent the last 15 years if his career creating large flower paintings.
In 1991 he married the artist Dawn Arrowsmith.
In his retirement, he directed Painting's Edge, a summer artist's residency for Idyllwild Arts from 2000 to 2007.
In 2009, he received the College Art Association Award for the Distinguished Teaching of Art.
The university established an endowed chair in art in his name in 2010.
