If you didn't see yesterdays upload, that one explains the title. This is the Mural that I worked twice as long as I wanted to... paid half as much... didn't take into account I was going to be on a ladder the whole time...I'm happy with it, However, with it being so big, I want to continue to paint more detail into it... on a big project like this, you've got to know when enough is enough, unfortuneately, I was just so excited about the opportunity, I didn't take into account quite a few things.... One of my problems I encountered was the proof of this showed half as many grapes... after measuring the design out, I realized the grapes would be bigger than golf balls - making the grapes actual size meant I had to do 3 times as many. I have not counted the grapes, but I know there are over a thousand... It took days alone just to do the grapes... all and all, The customer is happy and I am happy.... I just need to keep reminding myself something good may come from this - it is like a giant billboard with my name on it advertizing.... I did have lots of people tell me they had projects for me, but none have come through so far... This project is like a trophy for me, because I haven't painted in so long. the last couple years I've spent my time in this 3D world and my air compresser has been in storage or the pawn shop... I truely am a starving artist - lol The idea was first brought to me as a picture that was found on the net. It was a square picture that just showed the wall,table,chairs and vines... since it was square, I had to come up with the other three quarters of the picture (the wall is 20x6ft). that is why the image is flipped to the other side. then, I had to come up with only half the picture, the vineyard, houses, wishing well and grape boarder were my idea. Sorry about the quality of the picture, I had to play with the image several times to get it to load into my gallery - and on top of that, my camera is a free digital camera that I got for opening up an account at a bank - cheap - lol hope you like it, all comments and critisizm are encouraged. Thanks for taking a look.
