What do you do with a painting that is one-eighth the size of a basketball court?
   In Phoenix, you hang it at the airport -- in the biggest terminal you can find.
   Thus, in a dedication ceremony at 4 p.m. today, Sky Harbor International Airport's Terminal 3 will become the new home of "Stage," a 22-by27-foot Western mural painted by John Farnsworth.
   The oil-on-linen painting of a stagecoach is composed of 30 individual canvases. donated by Wells Fargo and Company, the 1981 art work originally graced the walls of Wells Fargo's southern California banking headquarters, but there was no room for it after the company offices were moved.
   It came to Phoenix through the efforts of the Phoenix Art Commission, local arts supporter Edward Jacobson and Phoenix Art Museum director James Ballinger.
   "It is so large that the only two places in the city it could fit were the airport and the Civic Plaza," airport art curator Lennée Eller says.

Wouldn't you know it? C-8 is missing. I'll add it as soon as one can be located. See below if you want to be notified of changes.
