Sculpted Painting Installation - Boulders of Killarney · Feb 6, 09:12 pm

Another successful installation by CLAUSTRO. Below are the before and after photos of a private commission installed in Waterloo Ontario. The clients have yet to install direct lighting onto the piece which will dramatically change the effect of the shadows of the carving.

WESTERN ISLANDS Painting · Jan 14, 09:02 pm

A classic depiction of the Western Islands, Georgian Bay … smoothened background rock with bright orange lichen from weathering fierce winds on shore, to craggy rocks as you walk further in land.

A perfect subject for one of our sculpted paintings, the sculpture comes alive captured by different lighting.

Sculpted Painting Delivered! · Nov 8, 10:46 pm

So here it is November 4th, and our clients picked up their Sculpted piece!

We call it “Falling Rocks”. It was inspired while trekking in Killarney Provincial Park, to the West of the Crack.

It is a beaut of a piece, sitting at 26” x 34”, with gorgeous curved edgework and words can’t describe the right side of the sculpture … Stu outdid himself!

I added a mountainous background to bring attention to the foreground rocks .. they have subtle tones of browns and greens to complement the strong blue sculpted sky.

I am attaching photos taken with different lighting effects to show just how the pieces changes and comes alive in varying light.

SCULPTED PIECE in the paint studio! · Oct 3, 01:34 pm

… and for some exciting news!!! Sculpted piece is complete!

Here is our latest sculpted piece that just arrived in my studio a few weeks ago! Stu worked his ‘magic’ and has completed his relief carving to this amazing piece.

It took me some time to get a feel for the dimensional component – a wonderful challenge to paint … very different than painting on my solo unsculpted works.

Since Stu puts in so much passion into his work, my painting has to intensify and his creation. Singularly, the carving is a strong stand alone piece of art. Collaboratively, it becomes a living, tactile form.
