Reflecting Back (Adams House)
modern media has changed the world and art itself. In the past, I would have had to have it in Louvre to get that many people to see it. You can see this interior of the Adams House in Deadwood in motion at Reflecting Back. This was John Adams’ House at the time of his death. His wife, Mary inherited it. Shortly afterwards, she moved to California, leaving the house and all its furnishing exactly as they were for 50 years. I painted this sphere on the spot shortly after the new owners, the Crosswaits, took over the Adams House. It was wonderful to see all of the antiques in their proper place after so much time. If you look closely, you can see me in the mirrors painting the sphere.
PORTHOLE TO THE PAST
Porthole to the Past
Deadwood has been a town of inspiration for me. My 3 foot diameter sphere called PORTHOLE TO THE PAST in the Deadwood Visitors Center is an accurate spherical image of what Deadwood looked like between 1876-1879. The buildings are as they were and the historical figures are on the road around us. This can be seen on Youtube PORTHOLE TO THE PAST Within the sky are images of many other inhabitants who had a large influence in the creation of Deadwood.
ENCOMPASSING THE PAST 1990
The first Termesphere of Deadwood was of the Saloon # 10 called ENCOMPASSING THE PAST. This 24” sphere captures the interior of Saloon Number #10 in Deadwood. It 
depicts the wonderful history of Deadwood displayed throughout the Saloon’s interior. I painted this piece on the spot from the location I wanted everything to be seen from, up, down and all around. It hangs where it hangs in the painting, above the cash register. I painted this in the mornings before too many people came into the bar. I found later in the day people got to talkative and I didn’t get anything done. Visit the Termesphere® Gallery and go to Deadwood to see these three pieces.
