The wonderful thing about working there is having the fabulous tech staff to help with, well, technical stuff, like building stretchers and armature. I'm working on a large painting, 8' x 13', that will hang on the wall beside the big window, several smaller paintings and a 3-D piece.
From my little plaster carving, the shape was scaled up and the armature base cut from a sheet of plywood. It's seen below with the somewhat photographically skewed sketch of what will be the 8' x 13' painting of the narrows.
The painting is no longer all white, and the armature is covered with 2 layers of paper.
Here's the current state of one of the 4' x 6' pieces. More to come!
Tara,
ReplyDeleteLooks great! The work is really coming along! We in DC would be happy to give you some of our snow, though I haven't seen any icebergs on the Potomac yet. And the Narrows are certainly more beautiful than our river.
Can't wait to see more stages of progress!

It is so big. I don't know how you're managing with your bad shoulder. I get faint when I think about working this large.
