Artist's Statement about this work
My gallery in Park City asked me to create a painting of the Egyptian Theater, an historic landmark in the area. Sadly, the Sundance Film Festival, which has been important to Utah County and Park City for over 50 years, has decided to move to Colorado next year, making this an even more meaningful image and keepsake. This was its last year here in Utah. I went up to take photos last winter and immediately loved this image for the deep shadows of dusk contrasted with the few remaining sunlit areas. Such beautiful, interesting shapes! This painting was created by masking and pouring, progressing from the lightest shape to the darkest, which gives little control over the color, but strong control over crisp, hard-edged shapes and values...a great approach for this subject matter.
