Romanian History

This is the second mural on which I am presently working. It is awaiting approval. The meeting is this week. Whew! I will take the moment to prepare the other one. This mural is quite a bit bigger though. These panels (although the approximately the same size as the other watercolour sketches) measure about nine feet by seven feet instead of four by six. Each set has four images. The center one for this mural is actually two doors so the image must be adjusted in order that the subject is easily divided without any disturbing misalignments. Straight lines are not good to have crossing an opening. Half a head is really not suitable either. When the doors are open whole bodies are better on either side of the gap and any straight lines must come together when they are closed. In this case it is easier for me to move the harness a little to the left in order to avoid the break rather than try to have everything perfectly synchronized. The opening will pass through the horse, beside the boy, a line that is mostly in shadow and therefore easily disguised. No blood involved! No harm to any animals either! Life is good.
