It’s been thirty or so years since the Gai Mode Beauty Salon neon sign has been active in Jackson Hole… so, when I decided to paint it… invention was the name of the game.

Gai is the latest piece I’ve created as Artist-In-Residence at Four Seasons Jackson Hole. Big ups to Nicholas Howard for the soundtrack.

Black ground, pink all around.

A four tequila cocktail to get things going… orange you glad I had the blues… on canvas. OK, I apologize for that.

Tubes and trees… could be a great album title.

Banging away on Snow King, darkening up the reds, and overall looking to push some depth.

I decided to take this photograph toward the end of the process to illustrate just how bright the painting lights are. You have to mix a few shades lighter than you think, because what you are really creating is quite dark.

Feel beautiful.

Speaking of beauty… remember last week’s painting of Rawhide?
