My sister in gave me an interesting image of an old movie theater we knew. The image had been constructed with facets. I asked John if he could make a painting similar to this. He said yes but he wanted to give the idea a more exciting structure using a variety of other images. Moving toward this commission we reviewed digital sketches that showed me what the painting would look like. I gave him the go ahead, and he went to work. I even got to see the painting in his studio a couple of times before it was complete. It was a pleasure to be included. He also posted the progressive images on the web as he got closer to completion. Palace now hangs in my dining room and invokes fond memories for me of going to movies with my sister.
I have made a number of paintings from colored-pencil drawings executed while hiking in the mountains or the desert. These paintings are created in oil paint on stretched linen. This painting, oil on linen, depicts a fourteen-thousand-foot peak called Torrey's Peak in the Front Range of Colorado. The view is from the southwest, while we were hiking the Lenawee Trail. It was commissioned by the University of Colorado Athletic Department and hangs in the Folsom Field Addition. It measures 40" x 24".
