BIG Painting

I'm currently working on my biggest commission of all time - a 5x7 foot painting! The canvas was so big, it barely fit through the door!

Giant canvas
The painting is inspired by a sunset scene. There will be many fun aspects like colorful splatters, hot pink marker and metallic gold. Awesome!

Can you spot 1) the sketch, 2) the miniature version and 3) the lobster?

The miniature version, to use as my color reference. Aw, it's so cute!

I will host a special BIG PAINTING PARTY to show the finished piece to fans, family and friends before the painting is whisked away to it's permanent destination. Come visit my studio, check out the big painting, and hear me talk a little about the project. Mark your calendars!
