For muralist Eric Henn, no job is too big. This 28,000 square-foot oil tank was painted in just six weeks, without the use of an airbrush. Imagine yourself an artist standing in front of a blank canvas, pondering what to paint.
Any artist can explain how intimidating that empty, white rectangle can be.
Now imagine that the blank canvas measures 28,000 square feet. For Henn, the feeling was familiar. But for the aquarium murals, he combated more than the usual creative pressure. Not only was the aquarium a high-profile job, it was also located in the greater Cincinnati area, Henn's hometown. I was really hoping for this job.
