Installation Day

As Promised

The triptych, Crystal Clarity, was installed today.

It is hanging in a beautiful lake front home.

Crystal Clarity is a dramatic presentation of Lake Tahoe Boulders, which depicts above and below the water surface.

At 48" x 120 " it makes a bold statement.

Thank you Village Interiors for bringing this commission.  It was a rewarding challenge to compose and paint a serene depiction of massive boulders located off the Crystal Bay Point at Lake Tahoe in triptych format.

Studio Work Update.

It's crazy smokey outside today (from the Ferguson Fire outside Yosemite), so it's a good time to sit at the computer, and that's  something I have not had much time to do in the last two months.  Spending hours, days, weeks in the studio working on a large triptych has been consuming. Scroll down for a photo essay showing some of the progress from beginning to end.

Sketch for the commission

Mixing the first paint to hit the canvas.

Beginning 'below the surface' work.

Aligning the three canvases.

Below the surface painting work completed.

Reflections painted onto the triptych.  

This photo is a bit funky becuase it was taken from an odd angle making the canvases look like they are not aligned properly.  It's an illusion.  When the work is installed I will take another photo and post it.

This triptych is complete, sitting in my studio, ready for installation.  It is a powerful compilation of three boulder groupings off the Crystal Bay Point in Lake Tahoe.  

And now,  because it is so horribly smokey outside, I will go back into the studio to begin the next commission. That's the update for now. Let's hope the fire fighters can can get some containment going on this fire.
