A different sort of painting project for me! A sculptural gate was built for the Seattle Arab Festival Souk out of board and foam. When I was asked to paint the gate I studied some old 18th century paintings seemed to indicate that the archway may have been painted in antiquity. I painted it then as I imagined it might have been originally.
