"About last Night" 38"x50"

"About Last Night" 
This piece was created using an old pair of Levi's a friend was about to throw away. I had no idea just how I was going to incorporate them into a work of art, It took several weeks for an idea to form. I found that trying to manipulate them on the base was a little more difficult than I thought it would have been. Being that the jeans were the same size and I wanted a male female appearance to the art, I simply placed the male higher and had the female arch her back and kick her heel up.Love Love Love it

"Love at the Border"

Seeker-Artist-Father-Nomad

He is passionate about his art and how he creates. the roots of Jack Durnford's art stems from the use of non-traditional art materials reflecting a world closely related to industrial and architectural references. The literal aspect of the work engages a dialogue of what is found and seen in nature. the artist uses construction  materials in non-traditional ways to reflect and refract light which will not sit still. The art becomes a playground allowing light to temporarily dance across the surface, allowing the viewer to witness a stunning ephemeral moment. With nature being a driving force within his art.Now has begun to use different bodies of water as a temporary gallery for displaying his art.

"Seldom Seen" art Tour

Hot Spring in the Owens River valley. I had found several hot springs in this valley some well known others not so well known. This one is very special as it has a wonderful view of Mammoth Mountain as you sit in the pool. I enjoyed this view for 3 hours this day.

"Seldom Seen" art Tour

I drove up to Upper Twin lakes in the mammoth lakes basin for this shot. I could not drive all the way up to Horseshoe lake as the road is still covered by snow. This art has certainly seen some water this past week.

Mono Lake in California was the back drop for this image. I was at the south Tufa's when I took this.

Summer Mood 48"x72"

I was in a purple mood......Actually this was created with the Eastern Sierra in mind during a sunset I watched this past summer just outside of Bridgeport. Amazes me every time I watch one as colors dance among each other.

Perfect Timing

The sun was setting the water was calm, I had perfect timing. I had been trying to get a sunset photo for what seems like weeks now. There was always some type of poor condition preventing this moment from happening.
I had just spent the entire day creating works of art, then it struck me.  The day was ending, there was no wind, no rain nor clouds. I had just been down to the river a few days ago and found it swollen from snow melt and I was tired. I gathered some art together and made the short drive to the rivers edge. With little time to set up I eased the art into the frigid water

Seldom Seen

As my on going experiences with floating my art I find that it is truly a thing of beauty. When I begin to prepare each piece there is a sense of serenity, all movements seem to be in slow motion. Only the occasional sound of a fish jumping or Kingfisher breaking the stillness of the moment. I cannot believe this is meant for me alone.
