first of many large format painting updates!

 Well, im not sure if i mentioned or not but for my large format ( 7.6 feet, by 5.3 feet) painting i am doing it on a theme of... weddings!  so, as i obviously dont have enough money for wedding dresses i had to make some.  i wanted them to look strange and art and craft like... i am only doing the one painting this quarter so a lot more work is going into it to make sure its the best one ever! so above is a pink skirt i am coating with gesso
 another pink dress
 amanda had to help.. she sure was happy!
 you will later see what this visor turns into.....without a peak
 velvet blue dress
 sideways amanda making paper flowers
 toilet paper roses
 the visors turned into lovely wedding hats and even a vail! 
 happy amanda posing the outfit 
 'wedding cake dress' i plated cut up sheets and hot glued them on to make a dress that looks like a cake
 most of it sitting on the couch.... 
i borrowed a $5,000 camera for my photo shoot... took lots of pictures and chose this as the final picture. so, i will be painting the girls BIGGER than life size! you will see progress throughout the quarter but it wont be finished until the end of the quarter!
