The Making of The Modern

I think my painting of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth looked more like "modern art" before I finished it.  I started on a canvas that originally was going to be a painting of a girl showing her sheep at the Fort Worth Stock Show.  It kind of has a contemporary feel at this point.  Maybe I could have stopped here.

I used masking tape to help me paint the straight lines.  (being able to draw a straight line is overrated)  

 And again, the not-so-modern-looking finished painting of The Modern.
