Large Paintings

I painted yesterday with the plein air painters of Maine at Cozy Harbor.  I haven't done a full sheet all summer, but thought I'd try it.  The problem is not the painting any more; the problem is the framing afterwards.

Framing a full sheet is expensive, making the shipping also expensive. The advantage is that most of the national shows respect the ability of painters to paint large.  It's a gamble.

Still, I want to challenge myself, so I went for it.  The whole concept of painting in bright colors is my focus this summer.  I wanted to apply it to a larger painting just to see if I could.

Pushing the limits is the challenge, and I have not shied away from it this year.  Push yourself, and enjoy the results!
