I've been curious to see if my
would translate to a larger format.
I had a 16 x 40 inch gallery wrapped canvas
primed and ready to go, so I went for it.
Central Park
16 x 40
(BIG!)
I limited myself to #12 brushes or larger,
put out a lot of paint and spent three hours on it.
Not sure if it translates.
It's a bit awkward up close.
All I know,
I was exhausted and exhilarated by "the doing" of it.
NOTE:
When asked about "writers block" in a recent Globe interview
Anna Quindlen, one of my favorite authors replied;
"Some days I fear writing dreadfully, but I do it anyway.
I've discovered that sometimes writing badly
can eventually lead to something better.
Not writing at all leads to nothing."
There you go!
That is so true....love your one hour paintings, especially the figures.
