Through our solo exhibition at the Laemmle Santa Monica, we have been commissioned to create a work based on "Single Sunflower." Our collector fell in love with this painting after seeing it at the theater, and contacted us to paint at least one, and possibly two, additions to it for her bedroom. We thought it would be fun to document the process of creating the new paintings. We will update as we go along in the next few weeks...
Our collector sent a photo of where she wants the paintings to hang.
We sent her back four sketches of possible compositions, with both 2 and 3 panels. The "Single Sunflower" was Photoshopped into the bedroom.
Our collector chose this option, with the possibility of adding the third painting. We decided to paint the two new paintings together, knowing that we can always sell the third one to someone else.
Our first pass at the two new paintings: raw color and a layer of resin. We've got a long way to go!
Next pass and resin layer. Colors are getting closer although this photo makes the background look black rather than deep purple. Below is a close-up to show details. Next layer will add metallics.
And... finished! Now to see if our collector is also pleased... Finished size is 24"h x 54".
Our collector sent us a photo of the paints installed. Pretty much looks as planned, no?
