As for the method.... the whole ceiling is still removable... so I get to paint it very easily on a table top! The inside walls are all painted in place... but with the ceiling out of the way it is not TOO difficult. But I take a long time and allow myself to take breaks .... sometimes it takes a VERY long time.... I started painting the Chapel a year ago.....Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-6002003654205136272011-07-28T20:09:21.702-04:002011-07-28T20:09:21.702-04:00Thank you, Amy!

Your words of praise are mus...Thank you, Dear Sans! Your words of praise are music to an Artist's ears! But I must confess that you think I am doing a harder job than I really am doing.... the ceiling of the chapel is still NOT attached... so I remove it to do the painting.... also on the Noah paintings because I still have not closed in the Monk's cell permanently. But the OTHER paintings ARE all done on the walls in place.... but it is a bit easier because the ceiling is out of the way.... only a little bit of stretching and contorting needed! The ONLY room that was truly (madly) painted the way you are imagining was the Chinoiserie bedroom of the Lovely Old Dollhouse. I had NO choice there! I was not about to unbuild the house!<br />So you see, all it requires is patience and a good version to copy from! It is the ORIGINAL work that must be praised so highly. But I will happily accept your praise.... and I maybe should do a little "documentary" on the chapel painting..... find a mini dollhouse film crew..... lights, camera action.... hee hee, I like this idea! Stay tuned for more!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-34120407222533586932011-07-28T19:48:31.400-04:002011-07-28T19:48:31.400-04:00Thank you, Caterina!
