    about Wyland Earth Day:

     

     

    Some of the biggest ideas in the world happen overnight. While CNN ireporter Chris Morrow covered the behind-the-scenes activity of the 2009 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, the last thing she expected was to stumble across one man¹s plans to paint the largest picture of planet earth. But 24-hours after boldly announcing his goal to do just that, renowned environmental artist Wyland put the finishing touches on Earth: The Blue Planet a three acre interpretation of our world atop the Long Beach Convention Center.

     

    Using ingenuity, elbow grease, and thousands of gallons of eco-friendly paint, the prolific artist turned a dusty, dry roof into a watercolor painting that can easily be seen from the upper reaches of the stratosphere. Wyland: Earth Day takes you inside the creative process behind the artist and his mission as told by the ireporter who chronicled the entire event.
