"GRAND CANYON 2"

detail

original version

This painting (the lower version), was hanging around my studio for a couple years.  It was in a gallery for a while, and in a couple outdoor art shows.  Nobody shared my vision of a geologic abstract done with a relatively limited palette, so I jazzed it up with some purple, blue and turquoise.

I think the composition is good, so it was worth exploring more color options with this one.  For more information about this 36x36 acrylic abstract, click here to go to my website.

South Rim, abstract quadtych

I just learned that this quadtych of mine has been purchased by Kaiser Permanente for their new medical office building in Parker, CO. I used to work for Kaiser for many years and, when an employee, I was not eligible to have my art purchased by the company. Now that I am retired from Kaiser, I can finally have my work in their permanent collection.

Kaiser purchases original art to decorate the public areas of their buildings. If beautiful art can inspire and comfort patients, and perhaps take their mind off their troubles for a moment. it is well worth the expense.

This quadtych is an abstracted view of the Grand Canyon looking straight down at the Colorado River. The composition is heavily textured and flows from one painting to the next.
