End-of-year in the studio

St. Paul's UMC (Boulder, CO) Mixed media

Koskenlaskijan morsiamet (The Rapid Rider's Brides)

Ett ensamt skidspår (A Lonely Ski-Trail)

Charles wrapped up a productive year in the studio this week with three pieces. Over the course of 2019, Charles completed eighteen works including ten done during his final semester at the University of Montana.

The first painting was a reclamation project, using a photo puzzle of St. Paul's UMC that was about to be disposed due to a missing piece. Charles applied acrylic to the sky (using a paint knife and a sponge), transforming the photo into a multimedia work.

The second painting, Koskenlaskijan morsiamet (The Rapid Rider's Brides), is a triptych ( 6x6x6 triangles) using acrylic on canvas.

The final painting is Ett ensamt skidspår (A Lonely Ski-Trail) 20x30, is also acrylic on canvas.
