Painting of the Week – Not A Mural

Contrast

Contrast

For Staples High School, I painted my impression of “Stairway to Heaven” over the lockers on the third floor when I was a senior. I remember the torture of painting these winding brown steps up into clouds and was never very sure that it was good. It was painted over by 10 year class reunion. I just finished this one for my powder room.

This mural is a limited palette value scale. I worked the rhythm of dark and light corners and edges to help me with the design.

Sincerely,

 

 

 

P.S. I am not in the mural business.
