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 made these bottle-cap medallions to adorn the upper-cabinet doors in our cabin's kitchen. Bottle caps are a medium with a history in American vernacular art and architecture. Their bright colors and shiny surface make them like beadwork. The caps circles tile in a hexagonal pattern. I arranged the colors to make chevrons on a diamond form. I glue the caps onto a wooden substrate cut to the shape of the assembled caps. The medallion is then easily attached to the cabinet doors.
