Painting by Carol Currie - Final Installation · Nov 8, 10:47 pm
This piece entitled “Life in the Boulders” was one of my favourite paintings and installations to date. The work is featured on a beautiful curved wall which can be viewed from several different locations in their home, including from their upper level.
It is a true testament to creating art to specifically accent and utilize architectural features. After discussions with the clients, and a few walls to consider, they decided that since I am known for creating multiple panels pieces to complement spaces, they chose to create a triptych to be installed on what would otherwise be a very difficult wall to place art. The dimension of the painting installed is 40” x 62” which commands this space beautifully, bringing attention to this beautiful hallway space.

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.
