I may have posted something about this last year, so forgive me if you'll seen it before. During 2009 I did about 100 plein air paintings of Indiana County, all 9 x 12 inch. Of those, 80 were selected to become one large wall mural. They have since been purchased by The Museum of Indiana University of Pennsylvania for permanent installation in The Performing Arts Center. At the dedication Friday was, from left, Bill Double the museum board president, myself and Michael Hood, the dean of fine arts. These gentlemen were instrumental in raising the private funds needed to purchase the piece. It is in an ideal location and I'm so very proud since I'm an alumni of the university.

What an honor, for you - and for Indiana University of Pennsylvania to have such an incredible display of your exceptional work.
I really like the way the "small" paintings are grouped for a huge impact. So interesting. Congratulations!
I have seen this post before, but I still love to see it again. I make my living painting large scale wall murals, so the idea of creating a mural with many smaller pictures interests me. Congratulations to you for having all your work displayed for many to see!
Congratulations! Your work is so amazing. What an honor to have all your work displayed there.
