I have been commissioned to create a large scale painting of an autumn image of River Road, Topsfield for the new Topsfield Town Hall. The town hall is slated for a grand opening on Saturday, October 20, 2018. In the meantime, I will be posting on the progress of the commissioned painting.
Proposed painting location: top of main staircase.
Within a few weeks, these very incomplete panels will be ready for installation in their new setting in the town hall. Right now, it feels a bit intimidating looking at so much empty space.
Paintings as they appeared on July 24, 2018. Much work needs to be done.
Paintings as they appeared at the beginning of the workday on July 29, 2018 . . .
. . . and by the end of the workday. I’m focusing on going from left to right as I progress.
End of week one (July 24-29). My goal is to paint one panel at a time to roughly 75% and then move onto the next panel. Panels 4 and 5 will have to wait until panels 1-3 are completed due to the lack of information I have for them. Sound confusing? It feels confusing too!
