the wall i had to knock out
Once I got going on my Golliwog project, I worked like I was on fire. I made most of my progress in one day - resolved the background and assembled the diorama. Then a small standstill. Yesterday I thought I was just about finished - just needed to paint the outside. But Dave had told me over the weekend that there was something about it that just didn't sit right with him. So last night we sat down and discussed what it was. He was getting hung up on the unfinished look of the interior - the inside wooden slats. I told him that's what I liked best - that my point was for them to look unfinished. But there was something in what he was saying. It was the lower portion - it just wasn't right. Then I realized what it was - I needed to "knock out a wall". And so here I am in the studio, tearing out a section of the assemblage and considering the finish. Below is a gallery of my progress. I should have the project wrapped up within the next day or so and will post pics of the finished piece.
