Have you ever been truly challenged? I decided to take on painting a large landscape painting. The canvas is quite large, 6 feet high and 4 feet wide and it seemed to grow as I painted it. My palette knife was a huge cement trowel. Mixing paint was also a challenge since I needed a large area for the big piles of paint and then a much larger area to mix the paint and have different mixes ready to go to gain the spontaneity needed for the work. It has truly been, "A Painting Day"

Suzanne, Thank-you for stopping by and for you very nice comment. I love your large paintings. They have been an inspiration for some time.
What a stunning painting, nice to see you standing by it to give it a sense of scale.
Ruth, this one is stunning and the size must make a grand statement on a wall! I love the softness of it and the movement. Makes me feel like I am right there looking at the trees blowing in the wind, such a serene feeling.
