Dr. Tommy Johnson, owner of Advanced Chiropractic Concepts in Chino Hills, California, has asked me to paint the Roman Colesium on the curved wall in his new office. After asking myself why I didn't think of that, I went to his office and took some photos. I wanted to make some "simulations" of what the mural would look like. This makes it easier for both of us, because you can talk about an idea all you want, but to have it visually represented means that everyone is on the same page, and when you agree or disagree, you're starting and compromising over the same tangible image. So for all you curious people out there the pics are below. I don't have a wide enough lens to take the best pics of the office, so I took a bunch and collaged them (digitally). After that I superimposed the coliseum.
Now, this is just the beginning. There are still a lot of things to be determined. What to do with the negative space at the top? Does he want perspective incorporated into the design of the mural (as it is showing right now)? How instense should it be? This mural is depicted pretty lightly, only varying slightly from the current base wall color. The picture could be painted darker, or with more contrast if desired. I will just have to sit down with Dr. Johnson and sort this all out! Will let you know the details...
