24"x18"
Oil on Cradled Panel
unfinished!
I began this painting over a year ago and decided it was time to get to work on it so that is what I've been doing the past couple of days. I had painted an 8x10 version of this and looked forward to doing a larger one, but I'm not sure where this will go! I don't have the vision for it that I did when I painted the first one. I really enjoyed the smaller format, too. There was a freshness of brushstrokes I really liked and a spontaneity that I find more difficult to achieve in this larger size. We shall see!

It's looking good! Don't give up. I see the freshness, even if you don't. I have a hard time with anything bigger than 12 x 16, too, it seems. The brushes don't fill up the space fast enough, and I run out of steam before the painting is finished. I always feel like the last half is laboured, and I'm never quite happy with the results.
