About the Painting
This painting centers on the rotunda of the original Cleveland Trust Company Building, a structure designed to endure. Seen from a shifted vantage point, its perfect circle stretches into an oval, familiar yet subtly unsettled. The work is part of a larger exploration of perspective: how form is never fixed, only experienced. What appears stable changes with position; what feels permanent adapts over time.
Through color, texture, and distortion, the painting moves beyond documentation. It captures the scale and light of the space, and the sense of presence it holds. It is less about exactness and more about the experience of seeing it from where you stand.
The image for "Historic Cleveland Trust Rotunda Window" was drawn onto the canvas from an original photograph I look early in 2026, on the same day as several other photographs of downtown structures that will be part of the series, including "Reflecting on Public Square."
