2008 - 2009 commission

My latest commission is my last of 2008 and also my first of 2009. Dr. Arturo Espinoza of Austin Texas has asked me to creat a piece for his new home. The dimensions are 40" x 30" x 1.5". My usual technique is to extract representational imagery from abstract patterns. In this case, Dr. Espinoza has asked me to extract another abstract pattern. I will be updating this blog as I progress. As of today I have spent 14 hours applying the first layer of color to the white canvas. Time is eaten up quickly at this stage as I am having to color around every line in the drip painting! The first layer is a canary yellow with an amberish color as the goal.
