Title: Visitors At The Gate
Collection: The World Rediscovered Collection
Size: 4 feet wide by 3 feet tall
Medium: Acrylic on mounted wood panel

An all new collection started by Contemporary Artist Todd Lawson. Though still officially untitled the "Disney World Inspired Series" is a new direction for Todd's paintings focusing more on detailed, large scale works. The series is a collection of visual scapes about a future rediscovery of Walt Disney World by a new culture.

It is meant to be a positive and alternative statement toward the staying power of this testament of Americana pop culture and magic...the mind wonders

During the painting of this first piece in the series Todd Lawson showed followers on his Facebook page an intimate step by step progression of the work from initial sketch to finished piece. It was the first time he allowed people to see up close how his paintings develop. The progress photos are viewable on his facebook fan page.

Limited Edition Prints expected to be available soon. Additionally a gallery showing is forecast for 2011 or 2012 depending on the speed of additional paintings in the series.

Painting in progress (just starting to under paint the clouds/sky.) I tend to make my skys and then push/pull parts of it once it's all down. This is proably 50% of the way there for the initial sky...

This is the sketch on the 4x3 foot wooden panel for my new (and largest painting ever).

I'm hoping to make it part of a series - give you one guess what it's about?

alright alright - i'll tell you....

Series idea: The series is a collection of visual scapes about the future rediscovery of Walt Disney World by a new culture...the mind wonders!

Next I'll be showing it in progress as I paint...slowly paint...
