Another painting I’ve recently finished on antique cabinet door.

The Marching Wind - Oil and collage on antique cabinet door

The Marching Wind – Oil and collage on antique cabinet door

I was inspired to create this piece while reading the book The Marching Wind by Leonard Clark, 1954. The book is his account of a trek through high mountain passes into remote regions of Tibet  to explore the Amne Machin Mountains in the 1940′s. Storms of snow, ice and rain in the amazing terrain presented there are detailed in the book.

This is the last of these antique cabinet doors I had to work on. It measures 47 inches long and 15 inches tall, oil and collage. The mountains are cut from paper printed with Buddhist mantras.  Just completed 5/10/13, once paint has time to finish drying it will be varnished and ready for sale ~ $500.00.

 

At the End of The Journey – Acrylic reverse painting on glass

This is the latest painting off my easel. Another reverse painting on glass, acrylic. The window frame is 100 years old. I was lucky enough to come into possession of several of these windows, six to be exact. This painting leaves me only two more windows to go.

At the End of The Journey – Acrylic reverse painting on glass

At the End of The Journey is an image of a place of quiet and solitude. The figure in the arch way relaxed, looking out on the amazing yet barren landscape under a full moon as night sets in.

It’s difficult to get really good images of these reverse painting on glass pieces. I’m happy enough with these. This painting measures 28 wide inches x 32 tall inches x 2 inches deep.

This painting is SOLD. Please contact me if interested and for shipping quote if out of the Phoenix, AZ area.
