"Little Mermaid" was a total immersion, black-box production by SmArts Unlimited. This meant that the audience was surrounded by the scene paintings. For this production, a total of 30 8'x4' panels were prepared and installed, in additon to the set pieces needed for each scene.
In this image, Assistant Jacob Hankinson is painting the large tide-pool rock panels that I had blocked out earlier. I was inspired by Conrad Buff's painting of rock formations. Jacob interpreted the color and value criteria I had established for these panels.
