5 p.m. on 9/11/11 at Wet Paint Art Supplies; tired and happy with the finished work. |
See Enchanted Makeovers for more about the organization. The mural will be on display at their booth at the Creative Connection Marketplace on Sept. 16 and 17. Many many thanks to Wet Paint for donating the canvas and paints, and to The Creative Connection for all their assistance.
Most common questions people were asking:
What it's made of: Acrylic paint and a LOT of waterborne faux finishing glaze, on canvas.
How long it took: Approximately 24 hours' work for me, plus a few extra for my Valiant Volunteers. This is LIGHTNING speed for a project this size -- 10' long x 5' high.
Is this a specific place somewhere in the world? It's inspired by scenery here in Minnesota as well as in France and Italy, but it's an allegorical landscape rather than a literal one.
What's the green bit in the middle of the road? Looks a little like a doormat or a $1 bill - ?
