New Triptych FedExed Yesterday!

FedExed this yesterday to the Law Offices of Eden Rose Brown in Salem, Oregon. The Golden Oasis Image #8225 triptych is a close up abstract photograph of palm frond fibers captured at Thousand Palms Oasis near my studio in the So. Cal. desert. It's an ink jet print over golden metallic acrylic on canvas, wrapped and varnished. The large-scale artwork measures 38 x 86 inches. It was commissioned by attorney Eden Rose Brown after she saw my art at the Salem Art Fair in 2009 and 2010. Can't wait to hear how she likes it!

New Art Installed

We installed this big triptych at the desert home of Jim and Jeanie Morris in The Lakes last Thursday. I like how the greens compliment the reds of their new furniture.

Photographic inkjet on clear emulsion over gold metallic acrylic on canvas, floater framed, 11 x 14 inches. I just love the simplicity and bare spaciousness of this winter image. The warm golden under painting starkly contrast to the chilly subject yet makes a surprisingly good fit!

Weeds Messenger #04140801

This stunning large Weeds Messenger series artwork was installed last month in a beautiful home in La Quinta, CA! It is photographic inkjet print on canvas with five coats of a special clear acrylic polymer to which I added small amounts of a sparkling metallic pigment. This extraordinarily dimensional artwork measures 38 x 86.5 inches plus the black gessoed floater frame.
