INSTALLATION - Cenote Solace Commission

Finally...Cenote Solace comes to its new home at the historic Hoffheinz House owned by the McKnight family.

Installation presented some very real challenges. Not only did we have to contend with the weight of the three painting panels, which were very heavy, we also found the the metal tabs that we had added around the painting made the panels just slightly too big to fit in the existing  antique oak panel spaces. It took four of us to make necessary adjustments and get the paintings hung. The company that built the panels also added antique gold trim work.

​I find that the best metallic paint for this kind of trim job is Modern Masters Metallic Paint Collection  

Screws were used to secure the panels from all sides and the added trim work aided in covering up the screws. Once secured, I went through and cleaned away all of the hand prints and shined the panels up. The client is planning to add special lighting to simultaneously  feature the painting while minimizing glare.
