So, now
that I have money in hand even though I'm not planning on cashing the
check until this newest and last change regarding the installation is
approved, I'll come across with some details. I've referred to the
small animal hospital which is actually the teaching small animal
veterinary clinic and hospital at Texas A & M University. We
will be doing 3 large panels, 4' x 7' for a wall that extends out
from the entrance and helps support a roof that covers the entrance
to the hospital.
At the beginning, I thought I would be able to do
some fun designs of all sorts of small animals but, no. They were
quite specific about what they wanted. One panel will have Reveille,
the school mascot, one panel will have a male and female tech holding
a cat and a dog, and the third panel will be a rescue dog and a
rescue worker, the last living rescue dog that worked 9/11. Part of
what they do there, I guess, is train rescue dogs. They did photo
shoots and sent me the pictures to work from. In truth, I've never
done anything like this before. I don't do people. Well, I've done
angels that look like people and I did Jesus and the children for the
cry room of a Catholic Church and I did those four portraits for the
conference room a few years ago. Anyway, I have no idea how I am
going to proceed. It will be a challenge.
While I'm
waiting for the client to sign off on this last install change, I'm
working on the residence. I'll be working on the full size drawing for
the door panel today. I have to wait til my installer does a field
measure of the cabinets before I can start on those drawings because
I forgot to take a crucial measurement when I was there last
week...the space between the glass panels. The drawing for the
cabinets is not fully rendered. I personally think it's a little
busy but I don't have to live with it.
You will do those people just fine. I know you will, Ellen. Your talent is huge.
ReplyDeleteIt never rains...
ReplyDeleteIt will be a fun project!
Sounds like a fun piece to do.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your art will be a welcome addition to this clinic. Can't wait to see finished pictures.
ReplyDeleteOh I love it and can't wait to see it completed. That big job does sound like a challenge, but I have faith in you.
ReplyDeleteYour track record says you are up for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the small residential pieces are colored and if so what colors they will be?
It will be fun too see what you come up with
ReplyDeleteI'm just entranced that you have the opportunity to do Reveille. My question is -- which Reveille? The original, or the current? It seems like they ought to want the first, just to avoid having a dog on their panel who will certainly be replaced in the near-to-medium future.
ReplyDeleteI think you should give all the people those blank "Have A Happy Day" smiley faces. That ought to make the job easier. Ha! I like the drawing for the second set of panels.
ReplyDeletethe design for the residence is beautiful. glad work continues to come in strong for you!
ReplyDeleteThere is such a range of what people want. I think that would be challenging and interesting and never boring. Your glass will certainly dress up the entrance to the clinic.
