My heart design was one of six chosen this year for the Engaging Loveland hearts around town project. Last year was the first year and I submitted this design at that time, but wasn't chosen. A sponsor decided they liked it this year, so here we are. This is going to take more time than I figured. I will be covering the heart with all sorts of colorful abstract motifs. There will be lots of texturing. I've decided that I will look at every painting I've done so far in this style and use something from each one. That will help me complete it more quickly as I won't have to come up with something completely original. Nevertheless, it will be original to almost everyoyne else.
I'll keep you posted on the progress. My diningroom is messy and I wish I had a better place to do this, but we have to keep the cars in the garage at night, so no room options there. The heart won't fit through most standard doorways, so I can't really put it anywhere else, like my studio/office. So, for the duration, we will have a bit of messiness in the middle of our home.
Once completed and clear coated since it will be outdoors, there will be an "unveiling" champagne event where, as I understand it, the artist will speak about their design. I had to do this once already at the "unveiling" of the designs and it wasn't easy, so I don't look forward to doing it again. Ah well.............I'll just have a couple of drafts of champagne beforehand and who knows what creative musings I might emit.
