  • The Carillon
    ATThe BELLEVIEW Carillon STATION SEPTEMBER 2018 • FALL INTO FUN Reflections: Art by Will Day Born in New York City, Will Day lives and works in Boulder, Colo. He has traveled extensively throughout the world, and the experiences of his journeys have inspired him as a person and an artist. Primarily self-taught, his interest in painting intensified during his travels throughout North Africa, South America and Europe. His fine art training has consisted of studies in Paris, France, and Dublin, Ireland. Will has an inherent ability to create bold, abstract images on canvas — the majority being large-scale in format. His art balances texture, color and layering into cohesive and appealing images. He works with his canvasses on the floor so that he can rotate and apply materials from different vantage points. Will has a disciplined approach to each painting with the goal of producing original works that are spontaneous and resplendent. “While all the paintings are abstract, I try to create numerous shapes and forms that are visible. Several of the paintings depict forms of nature, such as flowers or landscapes,” he explains. “My ultimate goal is to fuse three or four colors in each painting to project a strong, motivating energy to the viewer.” His art is featured in public and private collections throughout the United States. He exhibits at galleries in Greenwich, Conn.; Steamboat, Colo.; San Francisco and Los Angeles, Calif. In addition, Will displays and sells his work through his website and studio in Boulder, Colo. Will was nice enough to write us a special inscription on the back.

Aerial America is a 50-part documentary series described as the biggest high-definition aerial cinematography project underway in the world. Narrated over a vocal and instrumental musical track, each hour-long segment offers scenes of a particular state's landmarks, historical sites, natural wonders and contemporary life. Viewers enjoy both urban and rural landscapes interspersed with footage of remote areas otherwise inaccessible from the ground. What makes Aerial America unique is the use of a state-of-the-art HD camera mounted on a helicopter's nose to a Cineflex HiDEF stabilized high-definition camera system that allows for expanded rotation and steady shooting even in difficult weather conditions. In addition, Camera Operator Thomas C. Miller takes great care to prevent the helicopter's shadow from intruding on the viewer's visual experience.
