Installation of Three Arks There was only one place remaining for a larger painting in the household of longtime collectors Bob Goodkind and Kathy Wissel. Bob, Kathy and I looked at the space above the window in the room used more than any other in their home, and contemplated what would be appropriate. I was struck by a small painting already there to the right of the window – a remarkable older work of Adam and Eve in a landscape full of animals and birds, particularly mysterious and unusual in composition and palette. |

Major Commission Installation In August I drove up to Boise, met with my installer and his assistant who flew in, and we installed the three panel Trees of Life (12’ x 6’) in the home of the collectors who commissioned it. Planning how to go about the installation had taken a tremendous amount of time, and in the end the tall painting of three trees harmonized with the two story windows in the room that looked out on a stunning vertical garden. |
