work in progress.
 
I thought you may be interested 
in a painting in progress?  This is 
part of my main project this month - 
the first of three pieces for Purdue
University.  My job is depict 
‘business’, as these paintings will 
hang in their business-education
building. This painting is 30 x 30”.

One of the main purposes for my 
trip to New York was to get the
photographs I needed for this job -
and the nice people at the NY 
Stock Exchange allowed me to 
stand in their visitor’s gallery and 
shoot some photos. This painting 
depicts the activity on the trading 
floor, from above. I’d venture to guess I’m about 2/3’s through. 

I’ve been asked how I got this commission - the answer is that someone who had bought a painting from me persuaded me to apply for Purdue’s competition.  So I did.

I’ll have a new, small, daily painting tomorrow night - Thanks for checking in and have a cozy evening.
