San Diego CA Temple
Ascending
This temple has a beautiful stairway inside. As we eternally progress we ascend as though on a stairway to life eternal.
"But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man,
the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. But God has revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." (1 Cor 2:9-10)
This painting was inspired by the LDS San Diego Temple and the sunset.
Each painting is an Original Giclee painting. These are “multiple originals” meaning it is the first time it exists as an original when it is printed. Similar to original etchings from a plate.
Kendall's new medium “Giclee painting on canvas” (or fine art paper) is a new exciting way to actually paint. This new painting medium has many ingredients which intermingle through the whole process. This painting material is obtained from a palette which includes, among other things, photographs mingled with color elements and brush strokes in the digitized environment of the computer.
In this environment he can paint his feelings and imagination with liquid details. He also has complete control of every element of the painting. Each element is painted using deliberate choices and actions to complete the spirit of the painting. The final ingredient is the Giclee process of rendering the painting on canvas. Kendall's paintings each take about a year to paint.
Kendall, personally prints each painting with the highest possible quality materials. He affectionately calls his printer “my paint brush”. This fine art painting is a Giclée printed onto museum quality fine art paper or canvas. Giclée provides the most accurate and sharpest archival printing results possible. The inks have over 100 year achievability. With a beautiful tonal transitions with a wide colour gamut.
