On the way to Philly

This mixed media work is a commission for the downtown Philadelphia Marriot through an art firm in Atlanta. The piece is the largest work I have ever done (86" x 86") and proved to be challenging on many levels, and rewarding on many more. The work itself began with me walking the streets of Philly for two days straight, dawn to dusk, taking picture after picture. I only stopped to indulge in an occasional cheese steak or to marvel at the beauty and history of the place. Four weeks after returning home from Philadelphia, the work was done and shipped to Atlanta to be framed before being sent to its new home. I just received the images of the framed work today(see above) - it was done this morning. A big thanks to David Leslie for making my panels and the shipping crate, and to Kati in Atlanta for the opportunity to make this work.
