Top section the 3rd panel filled with elements from the collectors many gardens.
This gives you some idea of how the above image fits within the 12”x36” panel. I don’t sketch first so just like my collectors, I am always surprised by how my art unfolds. It keeps me fresh and adds energy. Stay tuned!
To say that this commission is a true gift would be an understatement! The collectors, like so many other people I have worked with along the way, are absolutely wonderful! They don’t set any limitations on what I use in their art, only that it is from their many gardens on their property. Besides sending progress photos along the way, there is no pressure to meet a deadline, although I know that they can’t wait to see their art up in the designated spot in their home. The other two panels are pretty close to being done, I added the larger elements and will tweak everything once I see the three panels next to each other. Hidden deep within each panel are abstract details that will keep surprising them for years to come.
