Kjundude1 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Posted November 4, 2012 This is the APG relief sculpted by Gary Dombrowski Painted with Vallejos. I love the matched framed pair. Comments and advice always welcome. Chris Fontenot

ewahl Posted November 5, 2012 Report Posted November 5, 2012 Hi, James, These are excellent flats--err, reliefs. You inspire me to return to figure painting to complete the ones I have started already. I know this is not an original idea, but have you ever tried applying your eye for color and shading to the front faces of U.S. coins? Such a display would look great in a shadow case if all the coins from the same year were included. Ed
Kjundude1 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Posted November 5, 2012 Hi Ed, Thanks for the kind words. While I think the painted coins would work to be a very nice display, I don't think that is a project that I would attempt. And the reason for that would simply be a personal choice. The size of the half dollar would be OK, but then other coins would stess my tires old eyes. I am working on my first true flat right now, and it is a fantasy project. It is about 100MM tall and that is a good size for me. Flats are also very afforable. Also, I will probably never paint all the round figures in my gray army. Thanks, Chris Fontenot
