I have just begun working on a large painting of a succulent. I had done a small, 6x6 inch painting previously. This one is 30x30 inches, so a much larger scale. For our upcoming show this summer at the Muttart Conservatory in Edmonton, I thought that something bright and plant oriented would work. So far, I am quite happy with how it is going. The photo shows the finished underpainting. I am now putting the final layers on. 

Working on such a large (for me) scale is quite interesting. The biggest change is making sure I put out enough paint! Working of small paintings doesn't take large amounts, and I still find that I am having to put out and mix up much more that I think I will need.  So this is a learning process too.

I am starting to get some other ideas for new paintings on this bigger scale. Well, I must finish this one first.
