Center Stage


New Mural at Valentine Theatre
(detail)


Love it or hate it you have to respect the effort. At 68.5 x 10 feet this is an enormous undertaking. I for one would like to congratulate Paul Geiger for such a massive accomplishment. When I first heard the figure, $100,000.00, I must admit to thinking, 'that's a-lot of money for a mural'. However, the scale of this painting is beyond most artist's comprehension, let alone attention span. To dedicate five years of studio time is a huge commitment for any project by a single artist, and thankfully, a gem for all of Toledo. Go see this painting!
