FAF = LEO vs MIKE

Well, I have no excuse.  I just have been busy doing other things.  I haven't finished the Manet painting either so I can't post that yet and I have to take it off my easel because now I really have to get down to some serious work.  It is that time of year again.  Yes, it is the FAF-- Fine Arts Festival.  This year we are honoring Michaelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.  Leo vs Mike.  If you go to: http://www.TheVisualArtsCenter.blogspot.com/  you should be able to follow Leo vs Mike all the way through the activities up until the festival in October.  We all will be working on and off during the summer --that is of course with vacations interupting things.  It is going to be a very big project this time.  We are going to attempt to do the "Last Supper".  A canvas 7.5'x15' will be stretched and 13 artists volunteered to paint it. Something this large has never been done before.  All the other artists are painting on 3'x5' as usual and are also doing some other works at home.  I chose to do the Prophet Zachariah on the 3x5 and a couple of surprises I'll tell you about later at home.  Check with me later to see the progress!!  I probably will post some pics from time to time.
