Here’s the next installment of the progress on the two murals for Necedah National Wildlife Refuge in Wisconsin. This photo represents about a tenth of the entire project. On the final installation, the image you’re looking at will be about 10 feet tall and 25 feet wide. Click the image and it should enlarge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0This area is pretty much finished (the color’s a bit off since I photographed it under evening lights – sorry).\u00a0 As a studio visitor said when I was working away on another section “while you paint, you don’t ever want to glance left or right down that long expanse of canvas, do you?” Right! Way too depressing – like I’m painting the Great Wall of China. Nancy’s been a true painter-partner on this project, doing the thankless duty of painting base textures and background – like millions of blades of grass. It truly steps up the pace – hear that, Michael? These big paintings, at least for me, are all about texture – fuzzy, messy and subtle colors that start from a very dark and stack up to a final\u00a0highlight on top. Lots of layers! As it goes on, there becomes a mysterious point when it almost\u00a0becomes a real place\u00a0when you’re standing right on top of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
