You're welcome. As You saw I've put some pics about the progression of this painting... in fact I did so much errors and experiences in the beginning, that had to glue a new canvas twice on the whole surface piece per piece to not loose the drawing patterns.

Sergio,
I am in total awe! Thanks for sharing how you developed this project. One question: Why were you in need of those huge vacuum hoses? Was there an unusually hazardous process to your working methods?
Congratulations on a splendid tribute and acheivement!
Garth

Thanks for the comment, I have a rose in my garden... so one of the pipeline brings in my art studio its odor, and the other pipeline brings out the nasty dust created by working on the background (the city map) created with polishing machines.[/QUOTE]

Formidable!
Sergio,
This is so powerful, original and impressive!
I love the smooth David-like contours of the firemen's faces juxtaposed against the gritty, graphic quality of the map.
Sincerely,

Sergio, this is a wonderful painting. It goes way beyond mere representation and is truly a work of art. Something about the characters remind me of the Diego Rivera murals at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Congratulations on this strong painting

Thank You Vianna for the fact that You appreciate this work.
Diego Riviera is certainly a painter whom I like more for his murals
than his political beliefs.

Excellent Job Sergio
I like how the two horizontal lines from their outfits tie the men together, and ESPECIALLY that the pump in front looks like a huge human heart - really reminding you how they are lifesavers of us and our community.
Much congratulations!
Linda
