And so, my summer artist residency with Four Seasons Jackson Hole comes to a close with one more neon — Teton Gables Motel.

TETON VILLAGE, WY — AUGUST 21, 2017 — Summer Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole Artist-In-Residence, Borbay, will live paint the once-in-a-lifetime eclipse during a private solar eclipse viewing party. From 9:00 to 2:00 PM, guests will sip Bloody Marys and mimosas at Rendezvous Lodge, 9,095 feet (2,772 meters) above Jackson Hole Valley, and safely view the eclipse through Teton Skies’ hydrogen-alpha solar telescopes.
Following twelve consecutive weeks of live painting at The Ascent Lounge, Four Seasons invited Borbay to capture this astrological phenomenon. “I can’t imagine a better place to paint and experience the eclipse. The top-secret painting I will complete at 9,095 feet is going to be extremely special, and, I suspect, unlike any eclipse painting you will discover. My summer at Four Seasons has been incredible — I’m thrilled and honored to be a part of this magical event.”
Borbay will share the creation process live on Instagram and Facebook during the eclipse.
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.
Sharpen those spurs… and take in this painting of the Rawhide Motel neon sign. This baby was painted live, at Four Seasons Jackson Hole… here’s how it all came together.

Thank you for the soundtrack help, my darling Vega. Oh, and you can take home this painting, if your wall is feeling bare and needs to be rawhide.
Welcome To Twin Peaks, fire, walk with neon… I’ve long admired the work of David Lynch, from film to sound to canvas. A consummate original, and architect of universes, I strove to capture a symbol of the great Lynch/David Frost series in a new light. Neon, to be specific.

Here is how the entire painting came together, captured in a one minute time lapse.
My very first Jackson Hole inspired canvas featured The Million Dollar Cowboy Bar… on Saturday, I revisited this familiar image, in extreme close-up, at Four Seasons Jackson Hole!

The Center For the Arts Jackson Hole celebrated their 10th Anniversary last night with a sold out crowd at their Annual Benefit Concert with Lyle Lovett and His Large Band and The Center’s Annual Benefit After Party. I had the pleasure of live-painting this 24″X36″ canvas throughout the festivities, capturing the energy, spirit and goodwill of a community focused on the arts.
