The Big Painting

I was going to save this painting for an unveiling at our famous Artwalk in September BUT it's such a big project that I have very little left to show on my blog even though I'm painting on most days.  SO... I executed my female right and changed my mind and decided to show it as it develops.

This painting is six feet high and four feet wide.  It is composed of twenty-four twelve inch square panels and I try to complete four panels a month.  I have a choice:  hundreds of leaves or lots of boards.  I am enjoying watching the scene develop but I need to switch to other paintings to keep from getting bored.  Have I mentioned I like change? :)

Sorry the picture is a bit out of shape but I'm not tall enough to take a proper picture of it spread out on the floor.  

I hope you have a great day.

  3. Bonnie, this is looking extraordinarily lovely and oh so spring fresh! I can't wait to see more!! Glad you can interject a new piece in between panels to keep your excitement for this piece up too. I am pretty sure I'd be the same way. (Were I ever to attempt such a project! I mean I am like that just working on one small painting!)
