Jane and Keith Aboard the Betty Jane is 4′ x 5′. I’ve only had a few painting sessions so it’s just now shareable. I think you can get a sense of what it’s about. Paintings at 5 feet and larger introduce their own issues. Just covering that much canvas takes time and you have to premix tones..

At this scale, the figure in red is larger than life size. This is a nice change of pace for me. Most of my recent paintings areĀ filled with figures smaller than life size, sometimes much smaller. The recently finished Main Street II (40″ x 56″) has 14 figures.
