N_S and no_form, thanks. The piece is 12" x 16". I was able to use my tabletop easel this time around (previous painting was 30" x 30").
For those that don't know (and Balkins) - the subject of the painting is Eero Saarinen's North Christian Church in Columbus, IN situated within Dan Kiley's wonderful landscape (and parking lot design - he arranged parking much like church pews and heavily landscaped it). A friend of mine wants to buy it, so I guess I can call myself a working artist? Not bad for a hobby.

Jul 12, 16 3:31 pm
I'm definitely not adverse to working with large canvases, but my apartment may be (although I do have a spare bedroom I can turn into a studio for large canvases).
I'm finding I like doing different sizes of canvases and trying to change things up. I actually surprised myself with how the architectural landscape (this one) turned out and may do another Columbus building soon, but zooming in on the details.
Thought about maybe doing a pop art kind of take on Venturi's Fire Station 4.

I said, I wasn't familiar with it's interior. I'm more familiar with its EXTERIOR and exterior entrance not so much its interior.
There are a lot of buildings that I seen photos of but don't necessarily remember what they look like because that information is not necessary for professional work. It's one thing to be familiar what the building you are working on or worked on looks like but not necessarily every building.
I recognize the Portland Building designed by Michael Graves but it doesn't mean I know exactly or familiar with it's interior if I was to look at an interior photo of it but show me an exterior, I would recognize it.
I haven't been inside the Portland Building so I don't have that personal experience to draw on for recognition.

Sure, I heard of it. It is just that I don't really have a deep interest in parametric architecture. Parametric architecture tends to not really excite me that much.

How hot is it in Astoria today? I think your memory is suffering again Rick. You were the one asking if this was residential ... doesn't that imply you were interested in or carrying about identifying the building? Maybe not. Maybe you feigned interest just to spout off some irrelevant copy paste. As for effort, did you miss the part about it taking less than a second? You took longer writing your post. At this point it is obvious you are only interested in trolling these forums. You're only interested in seeing your words on the page and the effect they cause.
Big Green Head, what does it take to get Rick banned from the forums?
He has threatened physical harm on forum users.
Numerous users have called for Rick to be banned.
Plenty more have just decided to ignore him, but that proves difficult where Rick dominates any thread he touches. Without the entire forum ignoring him, there will always be someone to respond to him and feed his narcissism.
Miles has already left per his threat and hasn't posted since March (while I've had my issues with Miles, at least he was able of reasoning when there was a disagreement ... the same cannot be said for Rick). Miles offered a lot more to the forums than Rick ever did.
Even Donna, the epitome of inclusion and understanding in the forum, seems to have had her fill of Rick.
The last two posts I made for my blog have been dominated by Rick. I haven't posted in a while, not for lack of content, but mainly for not wanting the discussion to get pulled into Rick's black hole.
What does it take? Does someone need to start a change.org petition or something?

I have, but the context was as a fundraiser for my wedding. I sold over 20 pieces and made enough for a week in San Francisco! Prices is difficult.
