fortpartyof4 108 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I love your work. And your office! I spy: a Gator helmet, a Jeff Gordon die cast, and a ton of Disney characters. That would be very similar to what my office would look like……if I had one! However, I didn't spot any Red Sox merchandise….must be you have dedicated the entire opposite wall not pictured to them?

Thanks, good eye spotting those things.And yes, you're correct, the opposite wall has the Red Sox and Patriots banners. Nicki aka Rebelstand 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 That's actually a photo of MS USA taken during a Halloween party.I'm going to change the banners to a July 4th theme seeing that a lot of flags are waving.I'll be doing it in segments, and I take progress photos anyway, I'll post those. It'll take a few months as I only put in a few hours a day, if that. Nicki aka Rebelstand and Momof6....aka Marty 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I think you should pull a Hitchcock, and put yourself somewhere into that crowd. That would be a cool feature, and we could all play "Where's Lou?". Or if you don't want to do that, stick Devores in there in knickers.

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I can't wait to see it, though personally I hope you don't paint it quite so crowded :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I can't wait to see it, though personally I hope you don't paint it quite so crowded :) I probably will thin it out somewhat, but not too much as I believe it adds a certain energy to the composition.

Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 You are very ambitious! Can't wait to see your progress! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 First progress report.This shows the overall size of the painting which will be 30" x 15".I painted the sky that is directly around the castle first, and then sketched in the castle. It's much easier to do it this way rather than paint in the sky after the castle is done, saves a lot of time.As the castle is the focal point, I started with it.Next is to add color, and an excruciating amount of architectural detail.
