’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.

    A Forest’s Light

    We are not alone in this forest of ever changing hues and varied depths of understanding. Images that challenge us sweep in on gentle breezes or forceful gusts, but the strength we absorb from others keeps us grounded. Reach up from the darkness, and be craddled in the branches of the forest’s light.

    Manitoulin Moonlight

    Dusk descends on all who dwell on this magical island. The fragile birch absorbs the fleeting warmth of sunlit days gone by. The lunar orb is illuminated by reflective light which guide nocturnal creatures to unknown shadows. Relax, reflect, and renew in the calming spirit of the Manitoulin moonlight.

    Reflections of Thomson

    A young Tom Thomson living in urban surrounds, sought solitude in the majestic bluffs of Scarborough. Venturing further east he explored the calm of a lake named Scugog, where inspiration lead to the creation of Near Lake Scugog and Evening Lake Scugog. His gaze is distant, while his four legged companion’s is inward. Was this a sign of his bold interpretations of future northern landscapes? Look inward at your accomplishments and interactions that have proven to be a positive influence on the world, but also look ahead with determination and creativity for a future rich with a canvas filled with vibrant brush strokes. Could these be the lessons of Reflections of Thomson?
