Old Town Sun Cloud by

Square/rectangular shapes transposed with circular shapes have been used historically (although perhaps not all that frequently) to symbolize the meeting of built and natural elements.

Original painting is 27" – 35” x 43” – 47" (69 – 89 × 109 – 119 cm) acrylic/mixed water-based media on salvaged hollow-core doors, other building materials, and wine corks.

About Eldon Ward

My artwork is primarily focused on painting using water based media; often on recycled building materials. Many works comprise multiple salvaged hollow-core doors. “Mural” sized works – combining applied components with direct wall painting are also available. I received a BFA from Colorado State University in 1975 and returned to painting in 2009 after a 30 year career as an urban designer. Artworks have been purchased or commissioned by a number of private parties and public entities.

    A lovely piece Eldon, well done! How long did it take you?

  • Thank you, April. I spent about 6 hours of “carpentry” & other prep; and about 80 – 90 hours actual painting. (That doesn’t count the time it took to drink the 9 bottles of wine to get the corks.)
