8×6 oil on canvas panel

$89 (see PURCHASING for framing offer)

I’m enjoying working with adapting field sketches and notes to these compositional studies.

  1. I like this — it has a nice pastoral feel.

    Question: What are the differences between painting on an 8×6 canvas vs., say, 24×18? Less time needed to complete the work, I’m sure. Are details more difficult to do? What else?

  2. Glad you like it, Buff. In answer to your question concerning the difficulty of painting small as opposed to larger, the answer is in some ways, yes and no. ‘Yes’, because you must still supply sufficient visual interest to allow the viewers imagination to take hold. ‘No’, because while the basic concerns of painting remain the same, it allows me to work on every aspect of the painting in one session, from initial compositional rough-in, through color selection, shape and edge manipulations, center of interest, and finishing touches. These small daily paintings often serve as the sketch for a larger work. The nice thing is that like working out a musical arrangement on a piano, you have a clear idea of what you’re about when you bring in the orchestra.
