Not too big. Not too small.

I recently bought a bunch of 11 x 14 panels.

The thought was that that size might "bridge the gap" for me 

in my eternal struggle to paint bigger.

Not too big. Not too small.

"Sitting Tight"

11 x 14 

I was trying to accentuate that "big sky" feeling 

at the beach so I think the composition works. 

Although I feel like I cheated a little! 

I painted a small painting, tucked it one corner, 

and made the rest sky! 

Is that really painting bigger?
