Justice for All
Order/Inquire

In preparing to paint this piece, the artist traveled to Washington, D. C.,
and visited the Supreme Court both in the morning and at twilight to study
the detailing in the structure, the color of the building and its surroundings
and to take detailed photographs of the area. Chase uses acrylics on canvas,
often backing the canvas with board. Unlike most artists who block in color
and rework the painting time after time, Chase completes each section
of the painting before moving on to the next. Although he works almost
exclusively from photographs, he takes artistic license by moving trees,
branches or lights to enhance the composition as a whole. The snow in the
foreground of this painting is simply amazing - crunchy and crystalline -
and reminds Chase of his boyhood in Canada, where snow like this was
a constant companion.
