Long Series Grid.
I find that as I work I’m always coming up with ideas for art projects, and while some are good some are a bit crazy. So my idea this week is…
Another spring cleanup idea. Take several straight tree branches that are about 2 feet long and cut one end so that it is pointy. Paint the tip of the point a bright colour, and paint the blunt end of the branch pink. The idea is to make the branches look like colour pencils. The stick should have bark on it, but it’s okay if it doesn’t. Place the sticks along a walking path or in a public area in the hope that someone finds them.
Does anyone want to follow this idea as well and let me know about it?

Ok, I’ll give it a try.
On another note, I wanted to tell you that my AOD yesterday: http://destructivetesting.wordpress.com/2012/04/10/artist-of-the-day-antionio-occulto-italy
is now on Number 156 of his Head Series. Not nearly as many as your Long Series, but he is doing exactly the same subject in every painting, and his hands are his only tools!

Thanks Catherine, they did look good on the wall like that. They became one big piece.

yes, the series all up together like that is fabulous. And strangely, seeing them tiny like that makes some of the individual pieces look more detailed.

The gallery had a great installation staff and they knew what they were doing, but it still took the better part of a day.

it must have been a really nice show. I like the child? in there in order to see the size relationship.

It was a big wall, and it helps to have a person in the photo for scale. That’s my son and he’s only small. I made rough video of the installation that give a better view of the whole setup.
