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.
The central verticals are made from one aspen log that has been sliced in two. The inner faces are sanded smooth. The two pieces are painted with acrylic paints. The back panels are made of birch plywood painted with dacrylic. The two white drawings are my own, from a long-standing collection of glyphs and symbols culled from my notebooks. The piece has been varnished; the varnish has been rubbed with gentle abrasive to reduce the sheen to a minimum.
