*There are two dust jacket covers to choose from: the diver on the front, or the chairs and umbrella on the front. The opposite image is on the back of the dust jacket. These two paintings are a diptych, titled Yard #1 and Yard #2, and the artist created them to be transitive, or able to switched, as the collector wishes. The interior catalogue is identical; only the dust jacket is different. The choice is yours…

“For over a year I have worked on these paintings, inspired by Ed Ruscha’s photographic art book, Nine Swimming Pools from the 1960’s. I thought it would be interesting to paint 30— 12 x 12 inch swimming pools. My world, reflected in the surface of a pool.” —Kenton Nelson, December 2021
