"Bird Meeting" (Super-sized)
30" x 30" stretch canvas
I painted... or rather... re-painted a "Bird Meeting" for my friend Kelley while on vacation last week. She wanted something to put over her bed and she loved my birds on a wire painting, so we went and bought a huge canvas. I was really nervous because I've never painted anything that big before AND I knew I would have eyes watching me while I painted. Considering the circumstances, I'm glad she picked something I've already painted before. I started the painting at 9:30 or so after we put our kids to bed and we (Shona, Kelley and I) watched "My Sister's Keeper". I finished around 2am. And Kelley was a happy camper the next morning!
Congrats on the large format! It's beautiful!!! I have to admit that I like to use a projector when I go large, at least to rough things out or try out different compositions. That's what I do with the surfboards,too,especially since erasing isn't easy! It makes large a lot more do-able for me.

ReplyDeleteIt is lovely! I love to see it BIG! I can imagine how moving to bigger was scary but I think going BIG sometimes can really stretch you. It turned out amazing.
