Oh Chris -

How I love those words! - BIG paintings. I always want to paint big. I have to fight myself from making gigantic heads, or basically gigantic anything. I am learning that they are certainly sellable to a larger audience if they are not huge and if they are too big they also can't be entered into certain competitions.

So, I started sketching this one just as a 24x30" last night! Now I am re-thinking. It doesn't take much of a comment to change my mind for bigger.

Thanks!
