Thanks Karin, those are absolutely wonderful and inspirational. I should take your lead and do a few small ones too but it seemed that I broke loose yesterday on one of my 36 x 40" canvases, doing a landscape of filtering light through many trees, on a lighted path and an old gentleman with a cane in the foreground, back to us, walking toward the light at the end. As a matter of fact, "Light At The End" is my title.

My point being that a much smaller one may have sufficed. Does anyone there or you Karin, ever seem to just let go and paint even in a completely different style than usual? That's what seemed to happen to me after painting commissioned work. This large one was so fun (not to say the others aren't) but so fresh and quite loosely painted compared to my "tight" way of painting. I had a great time with music filling the air, brush flying and not a care in the world. Felt great.
