MARCH 29th, 2011. We are now down to days to the finish and not weeks. For a while, I was beginning to feel like I would never see the end of this project. I look back after today, I can't almost believe how far we've come. We have spent about two and a half months on this mural. Not too bad considering it's size. SOmetimes larger projects can take just as long, if not longer. If the whole wall was flat and without obstacles, I would bet we could have had it finished two weeks ago.
I asked my brother Marty to stop by and give me a critique. He said it was my best mural yet. That was nice of him. Marty and I will often bounce a painting critique off one another's work. When we were kids, we used to criticize each other about more childish things. Now the crit's are more productive instead of destructive.
We got quite a lot accomplished today. It felt good. Now I can for sure see the end of the project. I'm glad, because I'm getting tired of working on it. It's not like in my studio where I can stop working on one painting for a while if I get bored and pick up a different one. Usually, with my gallery work, I would have four or five paintings going at a time. Cant do that with murals. The same one stares you in the face every day until it is finished. I got on the bus at 6:50 a.m., instead of my usual 7:50 ride to work. It was a good productive day. Lucky the bus route has a stop just a few hundred feet from the building where this mural is inside. Gas prices are getting crazy!
