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 created a variety of architectural components for the El Moro Rest Area, El Moro, Colorado. I contracted with Michael Brendle Architects and our client was the Colorado Department of Transportation. This pronghorn antelope is one of two large sculptures mounted on the raised-seam copper mansard of the buildings. This piece was cut by water jet in 1/4" aluminum. The close-up photo shows it shortly after installation. It became more visible as the copper aged to the brown color it typically develops in arid climates. This pronghorn image is one of many created for the building. The others are made in steel, bronze, slate, and slate. They are imbedded in the walls and floors and windows of the building.
