When I moved into my new space at Ford St.
studios the amount of useable area kind of overwhelmed me and I got it into my head that I should do something BIG!
So here it is, my "Wall Painting". An apt title for a piece that measures around 22 feet long by 7 1/2 feet
high. It is made up of 24 different canvases of different shapes and sizes.
If you are wondering what I am planning to do with this massive creation,
well, I don't know. The plan is to paint it and hopefully figure out what to do with it by the time I am done.
I have pondered breaking it up into single canvases
just to see if the individual pieces would work on their own, and I feel most of them would, but as I paint more and more
of it, it is looking like it will be difficult to separate.
The photos are in chronological order, with the newest at the top. Yes, it is finally finished!
