Coldwater Paintings at USC


Six Coldwater paintings have been placed by Lendrum Fine Art at a new building at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California for their permanent collection. A HUGE thanks to architect Tim Cowell for recommending my art for his project. Also thanks to Tiffany Lendrum for selecting these six paintings. All six paintings hang on one wall as shown above.

The inspiration for the Coldwater Series has nothing to do with water, seaweed, or anything cold for that matter. They are inspired by Coldwater Canyon Road as it winds up from Sunset Boulevard to Mulholland Drive near my home and studio. The gentle winding of the canyon road as it makes its way up to the top, is repeated over and over with endless variations. The dots, which admittedly look like bubbles in these seaweed-looking compositions are a counter point to the linear depictions of the road.
