whats paying the bills this week

Well, after several weeks of not working, Mardi Gras, and everything else, I finally had to go back to work this week. This is a 8.5 ft by 14 ft canvas for the Orphan Train Museum in Opelousas, La. It's going to show the Orphan Train, one of several at the beginning of the 20th century. Orphans from NYC were brought to catholic families in S. La for adoption. This is a little over 2 days of work.

Thanks everyone. It's the day job, it's kinda like the medieval master/apprentice/workshop setup, my boss soes the majority of the design work, and a team of us do alot of the painting. This one is kinda small for us, our work is usually about 12 x 20 ft, 20 x 40 ft, or as tall as 20 stories.
