Down to the wire and as usual I'm fairly productive under pressure. I've been planning a large scale portrait using a photo that I took of my son in Maine a few years ago. The photo image is beautiful... a calm moment in an otherwise busy few moments in my dear friend Bridget's chicken coop! I also used a photo taken of my daughter in RI... one of my favorites of her.
As mentioned in an earlier post I use the photo image and paint over it. This project has some more work left to be done but I'm pleased with the progress so far. It took more time to break down the photo into around 20 parts, enlarge that small image up to 8.5x11, put it all back together loosely and then adhere it to masonite. Learned a few tricks along the way that I'll apply to future projects. The result is a "painted photograph painting" with parts of the photo peeking through and other parts taken completely away with paint. I've had fun doing these and they're a nice break from my box paintings.
