Future "Cullasaja Falls"
Bigger is Better
Have you ever decided to do something and then wonder, "Oh my gosh. What was I thinking?"
A few days ago, I ordered a 6' x 8' panel for a new project I want to undertake. I knew it would be big. Then today it was delivered.
Oh my gosh. What was I thinking?
This thing is truly huge. At 6' x 8', this monster is the largest painting I've ever done. Most paintings take between 3-4 weeks. This one will take six months. I wanted something larger, more intricate and more challenging than anything I've ever done before. I'll take you along step by step until it's complete.
"Is this a commission?" you ask. No. I'm just doing it. It will hang in my Asheville studio until someone adopts it.
"WHY are you doing this?" you ask. "Are you crazy?" Yeah well...
You know how some people get into running and they end up running a marathon? If you ask them WHY the HECK they'd do that, a lot of them will simply answer "to see if I could do it".
So that's my answer. I want to see if I can do it.
This is what I am painting...Cullasaja Falls, North Carolina.
