Yes, it is. It just has to dry throughly and let me look at it a few days. Here is the back side.I decided on a much more "painterly" approach to the back side of the banner. The front side is more "poster and illustration" and the back side is painterly.
I decided on no printing on the back side for two reasons. One, it would be a distraction to the approach. And second I don't want some city employee who is putting this banner up to get the two sides confused. (Although I think will sign both sides.)
I did a few silhouettes figures under the tents just to give the idea that there were a lot of people there. I think that passers-by look at banners quickly and rarely stand and stare at them.
They are meant to convey an impression in just a few seconds.
It certainly has been an "experience" doing something like this. I don't know if I would have volunteered if I had realized how much work it was going to be! BUT on the other hand, I did enjoy the new challenge of it and it will be fun to look for my art "in public places".
Oh and a little reminder about today: It's the birthday of artist Georgia O'Keeffe, born in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin (1887). In 1923, she said, "One day seven years ago I found myself saying to myself — I can't live where I want to — I can't go where I want to go — I can't do what I want to — I can't even say what I want to … I decided I was a very stupid fool not to at least paint as I wanted to."
Really pretty Mom! Good job. Fun to watch the process.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, Ginny! So fresh and beautiful. You did a great job on both sides. I'll bet you are happy to have it done, though! Now you can concentrate on the holiday coming up.
ReplyDeleteGood job!
ReplyDeletethanks guys...as Barb says..."happy to be done". I'll deliver it on Friday morning. I hope I can find out more details about when and where they will hang. I am now framing a couple of pieces of a show the first week in December. Off to cut some mats. Not my favorite art activity.
