It really is a canvas stretched to that shape..
This is one of the more ambitious painting shapes that I made in the first few years of pushing the boundaries with the inner architecture of the canvas.
The original painting is approximately 3 x 6 ft, and it required a lot of bracing (not pictured) to stabilize the frame and keep it from warping. The painting itself was inspired by a particularly epic sunset at the Grand Canyon in 2008..
The painting is more representative of the feeling of the moment than what it actually looked like...

"Vision Quest" was recently exhibited at the Subvert the Dominant Parallelogram" retrospective exhibition of non-rectangular canvases at Luminous Flux Gallery.
