As most of you know for the last couple of months I’ve been working on a GIANT 9FT x 5FT abstract commission for a local business (Bitwerx) in Lexington, located in The Summit. I explained the entire building process a couple of posts ago.

After successfully laying the third and final coat of epoxy resin (hallelujah🙌). Next was planing the edges, and getting any extra resin drips sanded down. The final step was painting the freshly sanded and primed edges a metallic silver from Folkart called Golden Treasures another personal favorite of mine.

The next step was getting delivered and hung. Let be the first to say the day of transportation I was an absolute wreck. I felt as if I were going to vomit most of the day. My boyfriend and I bubble wrapped the shot out of it. And ever so carefully, not so gracefully we loaded into his pick up. Thankfully it was only a 15 minute drive from my studio to the business. Once we got there his brother, a wonderful contractor, helped us load into the building and hang it on the wall. Without a scratch or dent. And at that moment I felt at least 20 lbs leaving my shoulders.

It looks absolutely lovely in the foyer, and I’m so relieved, and amazed I could even lull it off. It never would have been possible with help of my two kids, boyfriend, and his brother for helping every step of the way.
