I actually own an original, complete set (the full mural) of the reproduction commissioned by the MET in NY in 1980. It is vacuum-sealed in its original seal. This is the same reproduction that is on permanant display at the MET. It is 8 1/2 ft high by 48 ft in length and hand silk screened in full color. Amazing!<br />-David Ron<br />dron100@aol.comDavid Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10979902922177852447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-729872479519980598.post-31659464323323847582011-05-06T08:36:00.261-04:002011-05-06T08:36:00.261-04:00Fascinating!

I also hope you get this nice commission.<br />As far as the first mural is concerned , I do not think two horizons is always a problem ...it just means that your foreground elements are consistent with the viewer's horizon ( assuming he is standing on a horizontal surface) and that the garden has a gentle slope ...and to wrap this up you pretend it was done " on purpose" or even better you can call it "artistic license":-)<br />It is a charming mural , this is what really matters.PA74https://www.blogger.com/profile/04342796008081342481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-729872479519980598.post-25695740574366651922011-04-28T12:14:44.006-04:002011-04-28T12:14:44.006-04:00How timely is your post, as I am starting mural th...How timely is your post, as I am starting mural this week using some of the elements of this very room set (and some from others, and some of my own invention) it is indeed a fun style to paint. No blending! It's harder than it looks. Cant wait to see your mural, I am sure it will be fabulous!Lynne Rutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861049506323014982noreply@blogger.com
