The commission for ASC was completed in lots of time, and was picked up on August 23rd. Now we need to cross our fingers and hope the framer has enough moulding in stock for these three large pieces. Am hoping I’ll get to see it after its been installed.
This was a large project (42X172), that took a lot of planning, and a lot of measuring, to be sure that everything would line up properly when it is installed. Am feeling a bit sad that its so close to completion, so may as well start a new one.
Sometimes I’ll modify the design or colours slightly until the painting has the feeling I want. The reference photo had green hills and a cloudy grey blue sky. The mountains had no snow on them and their shapes weren’t varied, there weren’t any bodies of water either. I designed everything the way I wanted it to be rather than the way it looked.
Have decided that these two work well together, and am ready to get started on the third and final piece.
