The Story Book Drop

I painted this  back drop in two days.  I had to work with the fabric hanging from the fly rail, which is double tough.  Have you ever tried to paint something that sways back and forth?  It’ll make you crazy! (Pro tip: staple the hem to the floor. )  I included the preliminary drawing I made for the director.  We chose the illustrations later.

This was for a production of Into the Woods at New Bern Civic Theatre.  I hear it’s already been painted over already.  Such is the life of a drop in community theatre.
