Notes
"The artist created this painting from memory using photographs his wife took of the lifting of the king truss beam on the Conference Center roof. He simplified elements of the building site to make the composition less busy and to emphasize the massiveness of this truss beam. He used sand from the building site to show the roughness of the stone on some wall areas, to emphasize the power of materials, and to show what it took to build this great edifice."
