’59 Chevy

In 1997, a friend came to me about a window he had envisioned for his hot tub room by his outdoor pool.  He had meticulously restored his red ’59 Chevy truck, and wanted the window to depict his beloved hotrod in a desert scene complete with a skeletal bull’s head and the setting sun.  You can see in the two detailed images that the word Chevrolet was engraved in the grill, and other fine details were added throughout the truck’s body.  To appreciate the work involved in this piece, you have to realize that everywhere you see a dark line, it represents a single piece of glass.  All the long, thin pieces in the grill, for example, were extremely difficult to cut and foil.  It was an early piece in my development, and I really pushed my skills to the limit on this one.  I would be reluctant to attempt a similar piece as this today, mainly due to the amount of time it would require to complete.

    Lac du Cerf

    Your clear waters calm my soul with every stroke of my paddle. My red canoe is drawn to islands where solitude and reflection have sustained me through formative years. A father’s love of nature flows through my veins like warm Summer breezes, and lessons learned are appreciated with every sunset’s glow.  You are the catalyst that reunites long lost friends. You are Lac-du-Cerf.

    Shrill voices break the silence in haunting rhythms, through misty shrouds. Messengers struggle to be heard as they warn of threatened waters from skies overhead. Spread your wings, rise up, and heed the call.

    Jack Pine Visions

    More than one hundred years have passed over Achray landscapes. A guardian of the land, entrusted to protect the pillars of the forest, ventured along Grand Lake shores in search of inspiration. Across the waters of Carcajou Bay, violet horizons roll in serpentine rhythms, while foreground branches bow in sunbathed splendor. He ensured his dependent lived forever in his oil sketch, as rocky shores, pristine waters, and windswept Pines were the culmination of Thomson’s Jack Pine visions.

    Golden Ivory

    Release yourself from the trap of materialism and superficial goals.  Rejoice in the sights, sounds, smells, and the touch of the sky, and all that lies beneath its gentle blanket.  Pause and admire the stand of Birch set in a forest  bathed in the fading light of milky and misty yellow hues.  Marvel at the simple complexity of golden ivory.
