Holes & Windows
The impressive scale of these works adds to the awe and drama of Holes and Windows, two enduring themes representing years of work.
Holes
Dancing Holes
Painting, Acrylic on Canvas, 18 feet x 4 feet. This is the largest 2 panel painting Joan created. Half was stolen from a public display in the early 2000's. Half was gifted to a friend and subsequently lost. We thank Gil for the 35mm slides that allow us to continue to appreciate this masterpiece. Thumbnail 5 Orry Ardena and Dancing Holes in 1996. Thumbnails 6 and 7: Drawing that appears to be the basis for Dancing Holes (drawing in collection of Terri Conley). Click thumbnails to enlarge. Where ever this painting lives, we hope it is loved.
