Have I fallen victim to the dreaded path that goes uphill?? I hate when that happens.
There were two things I was trying to do here.....One, make the balusters look as though they continue from the first part of the mural and second, at the end of the railing make it look as though the railing continues down some stairs. I'm not sure I accomplished the second bit. Anyway as I look at this, I'm getting the feeling that the pathway does not lie flat. I do however have an easy fix that will address the path and the stair rail. I will simply give a bit more volume to this goddesses dress on the left side that will cover that little blue 'V' section where the top of the stairs meets the rail....not the whole area, just enough to conceal the top of the 'stairs' so that you don't really know what is behind her. That door to the right is the entrance into the room.
This part of the mural is incorporating a statue of the clients that once belonged to her father....it has very special meaning to her, and how it is portrayed is also important to her......she's very specific about what she wants. To me, to be able to work with a client and get their expressions into the project accurately is one of the most rewarding (albeit challenging) parts of doing this work.
Today I will finish this room.
Tomorrow.....Frankford High School, Philadelphia, Pa.
