Journal 12
In the artists segment of the film, I felt it was important to feature several different disciplines in the arts. It was real honor to invite a good friend of Sammy Tedder, landscape painter Dean Gioia and follow his journey of finding a location on the River Styx. Then document the steps of photography to painting the image on canvas to completion. For more information about Dean Gioia see: www.deangioia.com
Early morning on the River Styx, Sammy Tedder and Dean Gioia canoe the waterway.
Dean trying to capture the moment on film for a reference to be painted in the studio at a later date.
Dean painting a scene from the River Styx while I film his progress. Painting tupelo trees was real challenge for Dean.
Final strokes captured on film to hanging in the gallery.
