Go Big or Go Home

About 2 months ago I received a message regarding a commission.  As my website shows I have mainly painted on a smaller scale so when asked to create two 24 x 36 paintings my mind went into overdrive!  Did I have the studio space to make this happen? Could I estimate the job materials, time & price? But mostly I wondered if I could get over “blank canvas syndrome” and start the paintings like I do all my others.  Well, here are the completed pieces and I have to say I really enjoyed the process.  Looking back on it, I  think the hardest part was working in my small space and ending up covered in paint, afraid that any movement would strike up dust that would be forever embedded in the drying surface! End result, happy client = happy artist.
