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.

End of Summer, New Beginnings.

And Completed Painting

Keyhole

Acrylic on Canvas

36 x 36

Titled:  Keyhole, this painting came off the easel last week and is currently being shown at Village Interiors in Incline Village, Nevada.  Inspired by the high water level at Lake Tahoe this summer and an unusually spectacular boulder group off the Crystal Bay Point, North Tahoe, it's a dramatic composition which makes a powerful statement about the water level and the massive boulders that decorate the shore of this magnificent lake.

And yes, it is the end of summer and as the seasons change it is time for new beginnings and changing routines.  It will be interesting so see how this affects my studio work.

Eclipse

The Eclipse is Over

What better place to view the eclipse than from the shimmering surface of Lake Tahoe, hovering over the deepest part of the lake?  Kayaking among the rocks while the moon's shadow ate at the sun was a unique experience. The day became a bit dimmer and a bit cooler as the shadow grew, and as it receded the warmth and light returned to normal.  It was a celebratory paddle among the majestic Tahoe boulders.  

And then it was back into the studio.  Last week, while live painting at Spirit Gallery in Truckee I started a new canvas. 

Beginning of new painting.

Massive Boulders take shape on the canvas.

Painting at Spirit Gallery

The painting is now back in my studio where it will be completed.   This is a composition that shows above and below the surface of the crystal clear Tahoe water.  After today's eclipse viewing (it was inspiring) I am back in the studio working with the pigments to bring the under water area to life.
