Virgil, Cherie and Cassie sat at one end of the dining room table. In front of Virgil was a data pad which he was using to make up the contract for the mural project. The three had been ironing out details for almost the last half hour. Ideally, it should have been done sooner but with everything that had been going on they hadn't found the time. Now he looked over it, trying to decide if anything had been missed.

They had worked out the payment, agreeing on a fee for work done of the mural. In addition, Cassie was paying for any materials that might be needed. Virgil would help Cherie pick up the necessary supplies once the sketches and plans had been made and she was ready to start on the mural itself. A tentative schedule had been mapped out, giving Cherie deadlines to shoot for.

"I think the only thing left to figure out is exactly how we're going to go about doing the mural," Virgil said looking up from the data pad. "The most obvious method would be to do it right on the wall but that has some drawbacks, like Cherie actually needing to be in your apartment to do it."

Cassie nodded. "And if the apartment ever ended up getting repainted for some reason, the mural would have to be painted over."

"Right. That would leave painting the mural on a canvas and then hanging the canvas."

Cherie thought about the sketches she had been working on, and the mental image she had of how they would all go together in the big project. "The canvas would be on the big side, wouldn't it?" she ventured.

"Yeah, it would. Which means we would need to figure out a place for you to work on it and then how to move and hang it when you've completed it."

The three of them sat in silence for a few moments, thinking about the problem. The canvas solved the drawbacks of painting directly on the wall. If only they could figure out a way to solve the current issue. Cassie knew enough about canvases to know that breaking it into smaller pieces wasn't as straightforward as it sounded. The frame needed for the canvas would make the parts of the canvas obvious whether the frame was on the outside or underneath the canvas. Of course, sometimes that was the effect the artist was looking for. She remembered seeing works of art in the museums in New York like that - part of the whole picture had been painted on a smaller squares and then the squares hung to form the intended image.

Would something like that work in this instance? Cassie wondered?

Cassie spoke up, voicing her thought. She could see the two artists thinking about the concept. She knew they would know better than she whether the concept could be applied in this instance.

"You know that might work," Virgil said finally. "It's going to give the image as a whole a kind of broken effect though, but if you don't mind that, it would solve the size issue."

Cassie shook her head as Virgil continued. "Breaking it up would make it easy to find a place to work on it, move it and you could also take it with you if you were to ever leave." He looked to his sister. "It does mean more effort on the planning side of things. Think you're up for it?"

Cherie had been considering the concept in silence herself. She knew Virgil would give her any help she needed and if it was planned well enough, the execution shouldn't be much harder than if she were to do the mural as a whole.

"Yeah. I'm for doing it that way."

"Okay, that's settled then. That will affect the schedule some though," Virgil said, picking up the pad so the necessary changes could be made to the contract.
