"
What's It Gonna Take?" is the name of a fun contest recently launched by
72andSunny, NY City location.
Q. The public at-large was asked, "What's it gonna take" to get you to switch over to the new LG G7 ThinQ Smartphone?
A. Contest winner Eric said that he'd switch over for a giant painting including his 2 dogs.
And that's where I enter into "the picture", having the great pleasure to paint Eric's request and to work with Brigitte & the wonderful team at 72andSunny who's vision for the painting included: playfulness, majesty, dramatic figures dressed in classical (Renaissance-inspired) formal attire, a dramatized landscape, and incorporating the LG phone itself.
I took photos of the 36x48" painting along the way. Here goes (backwards)...
