I'm currently in the process of painting a 4-by-6 foot version of my
Lady Day painting on plywood. The painting will appear along with other local artist's work on the boarded up windows of Proctors Theater on 4th Street in Troy. The aim of the Proctors project is to bring some needed beauty and creativity to the neighborhood.
Here's a preview picture of the work in progress.
I'll post more pictures when the piece is finished. The TU recently wrote an article about the Proctor's project.

TROY -- Proctors Theater's barren plywood boards will have a new appeal in time for the city's Victorian Stroll.
Photographer and gallery owner Debra Lockrow is working with eight artists and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the theater owner, to adorn the 84 Fourth St. building with artwork."The whole Proctor's initiative is to make the street look better,'' said Lockrow, who opened Artcentric Art Gallery at 95 Fourth St. in June.
"We're trying to encourage a positive use of the building,'' Lockrow said.
... Kristine Domenichini is one of the eight artists painting 4-by-6 foot murals with a music or theater theme... The other artists recruited by Lockrow to participate are participating are James Staley, Kim Schaller, Jesse Schaller, John Cummings Jr., Marcus Kwame Anderson, Dylan Lockrow-Lindsay and Erik Savage.
Lockrow said the goal is to have the art hung a week before the Troy Victorian Stroll.
