It's small, really small only 5 inches by 5 inches. The hardest part was trying to decide what size brush to use. This is one of a series of three paintings I produced in about half a day. I found it very interesting to work on such a small scale because the painting came together pretty quickly and each brush stroke became extremely important. This was actually the second painting in the series and is quite different from the remaining two, heavier strokes more abstract and emotional. I like this painting the best of the three but my wife thinks it's the least successful. One of the coolest outcomes of developing artwork is the many different perspectives you get. Everyone perceives each piece differently and in fact this may be the least successful of the three but you see I carry all the baggage that comes with creating it so I can't be so objective. Go check out the other two paintings on my flickr site here
and here.
