"Late Afternoon Clouds" is a triptych I created on request for our new R & D building as a nod to cloud computing.  Each canvas is 36x36", acrylic on canvas.  I asked my colleague to airbrush the sky for me to create that smooth convincing depth and height.  These took about 6 hours and my left shoulder was actually sore from all the quick and dynamic brushwork.  I enjoyed painting these... white is never really white, is it?  Especially in clouds. 

"Quotient I and II" are 12' x 9' each, acrylic on canvas, and were created specifically for two large atrium lobbies in the new R&D building on campus.  The building design is clean and modern; these pieces are meant to compliment the geometry in the architecture of the space.  Each one is constructed of 3 panels (4' x 9' each).  They took a total of 50 hours or 13 sessions to paint.  I worked on them in our shop using a scissor lift (I had to get special training!).  The goal was to create a simple composition with lots of depth and interest in the surface.  The different shapes have a variety of surfaces that can be experienced in person.  Some of them have sand in the paint and look almost like fabric.  Others (the more linear elements) have a gloss finish.  This was fun but I think I'm ready to work on something small.  :)
