I’m starting work on some more large canvases for installation on the south façade of Chicago’s Lifeline Theatre. My friend Gerry helped me take the canvases to a second location so I can work on them in relative comfort while keeping them out of the elements until they’re finished. That’s Gerry’s truck, and he took the photo too!
The three canvases are about six feet square, which is sort of petite and cute compared to stuff I’ve been working on lately. But it’s still big enough for me to be concerned about where to put them. I will be working on them at Chicago Women in Trade’s (CWIT) facility. I donated my large canvas, Fix It Yourself, to them last year - and in return, they are letting me use their space to create more large work.
After painting on the Logan Square Dog Park Mural on some of the hottest days of the year, I am really gonna appreciate painting in the relative luxury of an indoor training space. I might even get to see some of the welding or building classes that CWIT conducts, which would be cool.
I love learning more about Chicago through the work I do!
