The Guerrilla Painter has been working on a plein air panorama for the past several weeks. He goes up to the highest point on the ranch and paints a slightly different view every evening. Eventually, twenty-some paintings will form a complete 360* panorama of the surrounding landscape. The full moon was rising a few nights ago, and he said, "This is the first time I've had a sunset and a moonrise in the same painting."
He's noticed the difference each evening in the location (about 10 degrees longitude in a month's time) of the sunset and moonrise. There's nothing like painting outdoors to make you notice things that you usually don't even see.

Interesting idea - have you finished the paintings to create your panorama?
Hello Ken,
He's finished with the paintings...but now comes the hard part, how to frame and display them! I told him he needs to build a round tower...
My idea would be to hang them from a ceiling in a large room in a circle and have the viewers interact with the display by having them go into the centre of the circle to view the paintings. Or as you said build a round tower like the panorama Mesdag in the Netherlands.
Yes! It would have to be a very large room...
