Painting the Team

NYSketches painted an event mural for the team for the Pepsi/Lipton Partnership at their holiday party at Gold Bar NYC earlier this year.  I painted about 70 faces, set in their tea plantation in Africa.  Here is the final painting, which will hang in the company’s meeting room.

…and here are some photos along the way:

Event Mural at Holiday Party

In August, we did an event mural for SLGreen Realty Corp. at their holiday-in-summer party.  The party was held at the Aspen Restaurant in NYC.  The mural was 6 x 4 ft, and I painted much of the mural before hand from photos of the guests at the event.  I incorporated the theme of the event into the mural in which all the guests were skiing down a mountain in Aspen.  Here are some photos of the mural in progress:
