Go big or go home!

I decided I wanted to try painting large. So I purchased several 4 foot by 4 foot canvases.

It was so much fun painting free and loose.

I painted intuitively like I learned in lovely Tracy Verdugo's class at Art is You in Petaluma last September.  She is every bit as sweet in person as she is online, and I loved her class.

I did many layers, using Dylusions blue spray, acrylic paints, inks, a few stencils, and leaves for masks.

Alan helped me move it around the house, as it wouldn't fit where I originally planned it to go:)

Thank goodness I checked before I finished it the way I originally thought.

I was going to use white in the negative space, but love it the way it turned out.

Here is it over my sideboard in the dining room.

                                          I call it my Fantasy Forest.
