I've got half the panel covered, the car worked out, the mob shooter in. Still finishing touches to hit after the other half is painted in.

Working out the intricacies of a flying Model T Ford today! #bnaijehudah #muralproject #WIP #workinprogress #muralpainting #narrativepainting #narrativeart #representationalpainting #realism #realistpainting #synagogueart #contemporaryart #religiousart #fscotthess https://www.instagram.com/p/B63_YKuAAm3/?igshid=r44skz2n6vot

Only four figures left! I'll have to rework a few of them, but the end is in sight. I lost track of workdays, but I think it's about number 28. Some of the figures' expressions I am pleased with, others need to change a bit. The little girl in red looks cartoonish, and I'll fix her, but I like the funny kid lower left as he is. Some of the characters were posed by friends, but all the children are invented (though for some of the poses I took shots of myself for lighting and clothing folds). Immigrant Relief scene, 5'4" x 13'5", oil on canvas. #bnaijehudah #muralproject #WIP #workinprogress #muralpainting #narrativepainting #narrativeart #representationalpainting #realism #realistpainting #synagogueart #contemporaryart #religiousart #fscotthess https://www.instagram.com/p/B3hwWRyAoTA/?igshid=3dkfmend747y

Calling it done, though when it dries I'll need highlights on the red scarf and some glazing. "Leket" scene of gleaners (after Millet), 5'4" x 6', oil on canvas. 16 Workdays. #bnaijehudah #muralproject #WIP #workinprogress #muralpainting #narrativepainting #narrativeart #representationalpainting #realism #realistpainting #synagogueart #contemporaryart #religiousart #fscotthess https://www.instagram.com/p/BxoFYz6gwpq/?igshid=obfbgh3zvhjk

The difference between the first and second layers of painted flesh are evident in this photo. The figure to the left has the second layer, which makes her skin more solid, creamy, and rich in color. #bnaijehudah #muralproject #WIP #workinprogress #muralpainting #narrativepainting #narrativeart #representationalpainting #realism #realistpainting #synagogueart #contemporaryart #religiousart #fscotthess https://www.instagram.com/p/BxYZE1hAEcM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tgbgmmeed2w1

Progress at the end of the 12th working day on the 'Gleaners' scene. Landscape is mostly done. Canvas is covered and the patterns are on the clothing. The 3 central figures still get a second layer. #bnaijehudah #muralproject #WIP #workinprogress #muralpainting #narrativepainting #narrativeart#representationalpainting #realism #realistpainting #synagogueart #contemporaryart #religiousart #fscotthess https://www.instagram.com/p/BxWRNTogewp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gjv8zga2carp

7 workdays into it. Hopefully the sky will soon be dry enough to put in the tree line. I'll do the little figures tomorrow. 5'4" x 6', oil on canvas. #bnaijehudah #muralproject #WIP #workinprogress #muralpainting #narrativepainting #narrativeart#representationalpainting #realism #realistpainting #synagogueart #contemporaryart #religiousart #fscotthess https://www.instagram.com/p/BxJJ49wgMgu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=izhcyeftz7b2

At the end of day 5 I have the sky in (the clouds will need work) and some of the wheat field. 'Leket' scene. 5'4" x 6', oil on canvas. #bnaijehudah #muralproject #WIP #workinprogress #muralpainting #narrativepainting #narrativeart#representationalpainting #realism #realistpainting #synagogueart #contemporaryart #religiousart #fscotthess https://www.instagram.com/p/BxErG94A18M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vkebmmty8g6a

Progress at the end of Day 3. Figures are under-painted. 5'4" x 6', oil on canvas. #bnaijehudah #muralproject #WIP #workinprogress #muralpainting #narrativepainting #narrativeart#representationalpainting #realism #realistpainting #synagogueart #contemporaryart #religiousart #fscotthess https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw_H-LpgO-N/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ypdf47d7n9z3

After 28 workdays I think I'm calling it done. It might need a little glazing once it all dries, but otherwise it'll do. It will be set 8 feet off the ground, so there is more than enough detail. #bnaijehudah #muralproject #WIP #workinprogress #muralpainting #narrativepainting #narrativeart #representationalpainting #realism #realistpainting #synagogueart #contemporaryart #religiousart #fscotthess https://www.instagram.com/p/BwvZ8fsA5zt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jeqem1mzifsr

Got the mob boss Pendergast on the brick wall. This 1930s gangster scene is fun to pull together. #bnaijehudah #muralproject #WIP #workinprogress #muralpainting #narrativepainting #narrativeart #representationalpainting #realism #realistpainting #synagogueart #contemporaryart #religiousart #fscotthess https://www.instagram.com/p/B7HsNcMAWcQ/?igshid=1pw9mglhkghxm
