Vascular Triptych.  painting by Anders Tomlinson, 3 panels each 48 x 24 inches, acrylics on masonite.  Photos by Anders Tomlinson.

In the studio again, 3 panels each 48 x 24 inches, acrylics on masonite.

Vascular Triptych is an excellent example of the Anders approach to his work. In 1994, after 5 years of painting, he dropped these off with a friend for safe keeping. Anders knew that he would come back for them and finish them. !8 years later, he picked up the three panels and brought them back to the studio. In the coming weeks he will thoroughly document each painting. The next step will be to sand down the protective finish coats. And then the painting will begin, as if in a dream, Anders will find himself working with a painter 20 years younger.
