the house with the bamboo

two linen canvas paintings created with each other in the forefront of our minds. the bottom piece is detailed using only concrete + pigment. the top piece is detailed using oil + concrete + ground rock pigment (cascade canyon, CA) + plaster.   the two paintings were then installed into a handcrafted maple wood "canvas" then set in a poplar frame. 17 w x 30 h x 1.5 d. The natural maple and poplar wood floating frame is the outcome of a vision I had when I set my eyes on a home we saw in California. This modestly sized home was set on the side of this steep cliff with the most mesmerizing and enchanting view of LA. Roughly 900sqft of pure beauty and stunning details that draw you in like she was radiating joy. This home had this gorgeous maple wood siding with mesmerizing grain, alongside these massive textured concrete slab walls. Finishing it off with a solid bronze door, surrounded by bamboo.
