Diptych with black and orange

So, here is a sketch for a diptych painting, a diptych being a painting with two parts that go together:

Painting. Click for bigger size.
Untitled, 2011, WIP. Acrylics on paper. 2 x 35x35 cm

The two parts are intended to hang very close with only a minimum of framing, if any. Read on for the full story.

The process

This is just a sketch, so it is smaller than the finished painting will be.

As for size, I hope to be able to paint each part on a 2x2m square canvas, so it's going to be pretty big. The finished painting is to be mounted with the lower edge 30-50 cm from the floor. I will know the exact measure if I ever manage to finish it.

At the moment I don't even know where to paint such a huge painting, much less where to store it while working and after.

For the sketch I used brush and paint knife mostly, but I will probably use a sponge more as it scales. I will probaly have to make a few more sketches before I start the real painting. This may take a few years.

The story

This may sound strange to some people, but the painting is from a dream. In the dream I was in front of this painting, only it was finished and mounted on a wall. That's how I know how it's supposed to look, as well as the size.

As I don't dream of paintings in that way often I thought that I'd at least make a sketch of it.
