Okay, I'm getting closer. Yesterday I sprayed varnish on the drawing, and tonight I finished taking off the masking tape that covered the banner. Next I have to paint the shadows in the banner, which is a much different mental process than creating the ground. Working on the ground is a more spontaneous, intuitive act in which the image I'm trying to achieve has to comport in some way with the image I have in my head. Painting the shadows is more about looking carefully and painting what I see. Installation is scheduled for a week from tomorrow. Lots left to do.

Absolutely stunning. So three, no, four dimensional. You'll have a lot of people standing on their heads. Best of luck with the transporting and hanging. That takes faith.
I'd wondered if having a window onto the process by which you created something would diminish my amazement at the result -- so far, it only seems to be amplifying it. Thanks for sharing this with the world!
