What I put on underneath

For those wondering what this is all about, I'll tell you. Locally, I'm participating in a community art project organized by The Community Art Project Foundation. The gist of it is that they took The Mona Lisa, and split it into 70 sections. 70 artists were given a section, and were asked to do an original artwork that loosely conforms to the basic shape and color of their section. The theme is that it should have something to do with life locally. My wife Nikki and I are collaborating on our section, our painting features some of the classic architecture of Old Youngstown. You can see everyone's ideas for their sections on the community art works website. I can't speak for the other participants, but I want my undercoat to be nearly an exact copy of my section. That way, the buildings can go on in a thin, transparent layer, thus lending to the over-all congruency of the piece. I say, "nearly an exact copy". really I would prefer to make an exact copy, but there is a deadline on this project, it's been an ideal summer this year, and I long to feel free just like everybody else.
