Here are a couple of banners that I painted last week–originally for use in the Gloucester Horribles Parade on July 3, 2015. They’re about bees pollinating edible plants. Pictured above is “Strawberries,” completed July 3. They’re hand-done with house paint on bed sheets, each about 7 or 8 feet wide by 6 or 7 feet tall. Aiming to use them as backdrops for dioramas. If you’d like to exhibit the paintings or dioramas–or know someone who would–please get in touch.
