Mural, part 4: finished!

The mural is finished!  It feels like a great accomplishment, and what an amazing opportunity to have been invited to create this.

A huge "Thank You!" to the fine folks at cSPACE :)

Now I am back into my studio and enjoying very much the quiet focus of solitary work.

Mural 3: in betweens

One evening while we were working on the mural, there was a talk/discussion on public art in the room above us.  We went to it, and I made a few quick drawings of people while listening.

Doing quick portrait drawings always makes me feel calm and good.  It's a way of turning down the brain, meditative and focussed.

Another evening, I was feeling physically low-energy so did not work much on the mural.  Instead, I went home early and made a few small abstract sketches.  The sketches brought back into focus my current studio work, quite different from the mural's aesthetic.

It was a energy nice re-set, and then I could continue with the mural in a good frame of mind.  Yesterday we added more bits & pieces, and taped off part of the wall which will be painted a dark grey colour, so the painters would know what to do with that wall.

We are in the very final stages of the mural now.  I look forward to its completion within a few days... if all goes according to plan. (x) Once it is complete, I will probably miss working on it!  *laughs*  So it goes.

Thanks as always for reading.
