Japanese Squares pt2

After a month of work, hours and hours of cutting god knows how many sheets of paper and painting roughly 125 pieces of wood I am pleased to say that the paintings for Bar Soba are finished. These images are of the final two pieces which I am very proud of, in fact I am so damn happy with all three and I'm sure that some people will have their personal favourites. This is for sur ethe biggest painting I have done so far and the cool thing (I thought) with the background is that you can add or take away pieces so the paining can extend if you want it to, and they can be put side by side to create one long landscape piece (length of a full size snooker table approx) and I have a few extra background squares to play with.

Here is a closer look at the third painting so that you can see the detail in the background pattern and each section and the detail in the woman. I gotta admit that I am pretty tired after working continuously on these pieces especially when juggling painting and a full time job.


As I mentioned this took a long time but with plenty cups of good ol' tea and a Guinness or two at the end of each session I didn't have anything to complain about. So now all I ahve to do is go to the bar to hang these bad boys up, I didn't make an edit to these two pieces cause I'm planning to film the hanging process instead to give you guys something different to watch. Untill then folks.
Peace
