Donner Lake Rental Shack/ "Closed for the Season"

Here is another piece I finished over the winter. It was for the 2016 Lion Heart Show at Riverside Studios here in Truckee. Proceeds benefit The C.R. Johnson Healing Center. It is always an event that I look forward to participating in. The image is from Donner Lake its a photo of a boat rental shack closed for the winter. I printed text in the snow, white on white for subtlety. It reads, "Forecast looks good, time to lock up shop, wax them boards." I wanted to reference the spirit that builds when a winter storm is on the way and honor the dedication of the snowboarding and skiing community and what people will sacrifice for a few sacred weightless moments in some fresh snow. The criteria for the show is all artists are provided 10"x10" panels of plywood. You can take as many as you want and all panels sell for 100$. I like to put two together for the "panoramic window" look. More work will be up soon. Thanks for viewing my work. Feel free to ask questions or leave comments. cheers! Randal 5/7/16
