Summer project julY

Because my time was about two weeks short in July and I’m leaving for Greece tomorrow this is as far as I got on painting. Although I’m not completely finished (I plan to finish before tonight) this is the longest most time consuming part because past this point I just need to paint letters and attach the neon and light bulbs. Both of those are things I can get help on unlike the intricate painting of this bottom part that I needed to do on my own. I’m am extremely happy with how far I’ve gotten this month considering the scale and the fact that it is almost like I’m painting 3 projects instead of just one. So far with the way it is pulling together I think it really rounds out my portfolio because it ties in many themes that were prevalent in my artwork. I definitely prefer the “A” and in hindsight think I should have at least on the “U” used one large image instead of many small ones which to me doesn’t have as effective of a composition and doesn’t create as much connection as the last one. I also dislike that with the S the main color (white) cannot be used as a mid tone like it is on the other two which I find more visually pleasing because of that. If I were to do something similar in the future I would definitely choose darker/mid toned colors to be the base instead of something light like white or yellow to maintain the visual effect.
