Dancing Around the Four Sides

My guess is that this is a business of some kind. They didn't say in their ad, but given the season and the unusual request, that's what seems most logical.

Weirdest thing I've ever been hired to paint? Hm. Possibly the condo floor that I helped turn into an ocean, complete with lapping waves at the shore where the elevator opened into the foyer, and seawall stones with coral and sea fans and such all along the walls, and all manner of fish and crabs and things, and the sandy little island in the middle of the dining room, where the table was going to sit.

I was on a team for that one. I was also one of several artists on the Addams Family Game Room job, which involved gray faux-marble walls with dead rose vines and cobwebs.

Both those jobs were work I got with Martha. As an individual artist I haven't had that many weird gigs.
