Trying to get a commission finished tonight

I am working up the finishing touches on the piece won by M. Anderson at the Pella Expo at Energy Solutions Arena. I am building a piece for the wall behind the dining room table. I had them look through the art on “Art All of It” page on my web site so I could understand what they liked and build to that taste. I received this email from them a few days later.

“Dennis I am glad you came by this afternoon.  I am excited to work with you on our project.  It is hard for me to describe which pieces we like the best and why but I will attempt it.  I love architecture that weaves the building material through the project, one of my favorite architects is Richard Meier.  I have attached one of his beach houses.  I like the way the building structure weaves through the project, both on the interior and exterior.  I love the simplicity and directness of his approach.  We love the white museum quality of the home but both my wife and I love color.  We like color to be strong but to have a more muted earth tone about it.  This is what I love about Opus 11 and 2, these two pieces have similar qualities to Richard Meier work.  These piece weave with a clarity of intent but the weave moves back forth with not a consistent nature, the weave will stay behind in some instance, while still expressing its presence. This is similar to the way in which the structure is hidden away with in a wall and then expressed in the interior space and then beyond in an exterior expression.   I also like the quality of the curvilinear shape that is contained within one broader stoke.

Opus Forty Two – I like the simplicity of the piece.

Opus Eleven – This piece is my favorite.  I like that that it is mono tone and that the tone is more a earth tone.  I also like that it is not simply woven.”
