taken over the years
The
painting went through three stages:
The
first stage
- Put
the first coat of paint on the boards.
Children were the primary painters.
The second stage
- Darken
the colors and eliminate the brush strokes.
Adults were asked to do
this task.
The third stage
- Outline
the edges.
This last stage was the most important.
As the edges were
sharpened the painting pulled together. Artists,
crafters and people with steady
hands were needed during this stage.
This
interactive artwork brought people, from around the world, together as
they worked on this mutual project.

Old West Festival.
QUICK DRAW

Canton, when he stopped to paint
on panel #5 of 12.
ANY CLOWN CAN
PAINT
Gator the Clown, from Ft. Worth, painted on panel #7
of 12, at the Victoria
Livestock Show and Rodeo. Gator's clowning around attracted additional
volunteers. He had the painters
singing songs as they worked.
IT'S A FAMILY
AFFAIR
The
children were always the first - - "May I paint, Mom? Dad?"
After learning about the project the kids were allowed to paint.
Once the parents saw how easy and fun it was, they would volunteer to
help.
In the end it was the adults who enjoyed and appreciated the
experience
the most.
HOBBY
LOBBY
The
Hobby Lobby Corporation allowed the panels to be painted in front of
(and
sometimes in) their stores.
LITTLE
BITS
Some
painters needed a little help, especially if they were babies or
young
children.
