Painting - Acrylic On Metal Utility Box

Description

I was commissioned by the city to transform the large Traffic Signal Box beside the Dog Park in La Quinta, California, into a work of public art. The painting had to be light in palette to avoid drawing heat to the metal box (thereby frying the computer inside.) The design had to work around handles, vents, doors, light sensors, and appending boxes. To complete initial drawing, I had a friend pose with her Boston Terrier on leash and added Stewie afterwards. To add interest, I placed a red ball between the two dogs (Boston looks like he is inviting Stewie to play.) Locals bring their dogs to the fenced park so dogs can run without leashes. Stewie, sitting on the adjacent smaller box, had to have a leash because he was not inside the park. A passing dog owner loaned me her small dog's leash. I quickly drew the leash clip and used charcoal to trace a line around the front and up the side to indicate someone holding a leash. One needs to display "following the letter of the law" when creating Public Art.
