A Painting - The Morris Performing Arts Center,
"Before and After".
South Bend, IN
As an artist, I am always looking at things differently than most. I have painted several nostalgic businesses around the country. This is The Morris Performing Arts Center, located in downtown South Bend, Indiana. The acrylic painting is 24" x 36" on stretched canvas. The Painting was commissioned as a Christmas present in September of 2016. The man who ordered the painting, requested special things on the marquee, as well as the green fountain, which went along with the Broadway play "Wicked'. The performance was in early September, 2016. The lady walking toward the theater was a likeness of his wife, who worked at the Morris. She was also given progression photos of the painting in progress on a DVD. He said it was a big hit!

I have been asked on occasion how I was able to create my paintings. This series shows the actual place and the final painting to show the comparison. Most of the paintings were made from, as many as 12 photographs taken from different angles, as well as closeup shots. These are the before and after shots.
