LYNKN
09 December 2025
Acrylic on polycotton canvas
30 x 24 inches (76.2 x 60.9 cm)
This was juried into Art at COS which was the premier for the airport's gallery.
I've been wanting to paint an aerial shot like this for quite awhile and fortunately, there was a call for art that had the same idea. It was "Window Seat - Views from the Stratosphere", with the intent of showing art in an airport. Funny enough, Auntiluna was also intended for this call, but it was purchased. I will enter LYNKN with Playroom and Wingtip. This is painted on a repurposed piece of wall art which was supposed to be a funny way of defining a boy. That didn't lend itself to a name so I used a fix that is on an approach into Denver. Since they're limited to five characters, the spelling needs to by creative. In this case, it's pronounced "Lincoln". I plan on doing more of these type views.
The original wall art is shown above left and a gif with a few shots along the way.
It sat for about two months then got about 5 or 6 days of work.
The original piece was a gallery wrap but I didn't give much time to painting the
edges so I put a simple wood frame around it. Always happy when the joints work out well.
