i was commissioned again by the good people at the american ivy society to throw some murals on the walls. over two cold days in the unheated convention center, i painted 260 sq ft in 16 hours.
the american ivy society's interpretation of the 'passport to the world' theme was japan; one mural was mount fuji [18' x 10'] and the other was cherry blossoms [8' x 10']. the 2010 phila international flower show runs Sunday, February 28th through Sunday, March 7 at the Philadelphia Convention Center.
furthermore, the art adventure doubled as a trip to the homeland. a special shout out to the mama y papa and the lovely, talented miriam singer [http://www.inliquid.com/artist/singer_miriam/singer.php] for their hospitality and car rides.
