Spring


......the renewal of spring.......

New work .......new series.......I'm still doing a lot of the water series , but , I deviated a couple months to do this show with Charley Valoroso.

Charley is known for his Aloha Shirt paintings and on this occasion, I'm painting a series that was generated back in the late 1970's...and finally put down on paper and canvas...30+ years later.

As the islands' old time photorealists, we have shown and known each other for nearly 4 decades.

Artwork from State Foundation is usually installed after a building is completed.
This competiton awarded art commission project involved working with the architectural drawings and it's changing modifications. The glass bays were an integral exterior-interior enclosure or "skin"of the building structure.

Everyone at every level and at each time-line had to be on the same page. The artist, Architects Hawaii, DAGS, SFCA, the Judicial Art Committee, Peters Glasmalerei (Germany), the shipping company, customs, the construction contractor, and the sub contractors/glaziers: glass installers all came together to make this huge undertaking a spectacular success. On time and on budget.
This was a major coodination of all State departments and private contractors that took years to prep and nearly four years to complete.



Bay #4 @ sunset, summer'09

Of the 5 large window bays, the largest one is a horizontal ground level mural that is 24' 4" high by 40' 4" long.
Surrounding the entry courtyard, the other four are upper level vertical bays that are each 29' x 20'.
The scope of these combined murals makes this art-glass process the largest of its kind in the world.
