Testimonials
I loved painting with other artists simultaneously and seeing their process. I really enjoyed the comradery we had that day.
— Chad Fedorovich
It inspired me to think more about repurposed materials or how to repurpose some of the items I may consider having served their initial purpose.
— Davon Brantley
The blade was a nice surface to work on... smooth and stable!
— Debra Sue Solecki
I’ve painted all kinds of random things over the years, but it’s def something different. I get asked, “What’s the weirdest thing you painted?” And this is definitely up there.
— Garrett Weider
Fun but challenging! The blades may not look curved in a photograph but, in reality they have this slight wave to them making your painting a round structure. Everything you would do for a normal wall mural has to change to make the piece relate the way you want it to. It was a fun problem to solve and to see the piece truly flow as one range.
— Caitlen Cameron
It was a great surface for painting. Very smooth and held the paint well.
— Mike Sobeck
It was a perfect canvas! I want to paint on more smooth surfaces like a wind turbine in the future. It was fun to paint a functional object with different sides and angles.
— Tessa LeBaron
