The
"Camping In Time Paintings"
The so called "Camping In Time Paintings" can be any painting by R.T.
that is very small, detailed and carefully researched
but which nevertheless
depicts something very huge - always from another age.
Although all the finished paintings above are associated
with project 'The Pedestrian's Guidebook to Camping In Time' and
include the depiction of a Temporal Camper, a process drawing is
included of a future "Camping In Time Painting" which will show the
interior of the ancient Temple of Zeus at Olympia and the colossal
statue of Zeus by Phidias (one of the seven wonders of the ancient
world) and will include a solitary Temporal Camper somewhere inside
the temple.
The canvas dimensions of the paintings above (excluding the frame) are 16 x 20 inches (40.64 x 50.8 cm), with the exception of the Cretaceous Campsite scene which is 20 x 30 inches (50.8 x 76.2 cm). All were completed between 2003 and 2017. A labour of love, indeed.
