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. ~Karin
