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 draw when I hike, using colored pencils in a small notebook. I make oil paintings from these drawings. This painting shows a tiny stream in the high alpine tundra of the Front Range in Colorado. This basin, Dry Gulch, is very close to the Eisenhower Tunnel on I-70. But I was high up in a world apart when I made this drawing. The piece is painted in oils, and measures 32"x18."
