Wendy: Thanks you are too kind. I hope they love it however... I just had one of the older board members contact me, and told me an interesting tidbit of historical info I wish I possessed before I started painting. It seems the pillars were moved in the 1950s to their current position due to theater screens becoming wider. So the original position would have been much farther into the arches to frame a more square screen. I am waiting for a reply, but I may have to start over on the pillar and move it. These kinds of things make me want to scream, but at the same time I want it to be as authentic as I can to help preserve history.
