I have (3) 20x20 canvases painted from memory on a flight back from Europe going over the Great Lakes at sunset. I didn't have a camera. Totally forgot my I Phone had one....however I'm not sure it would have captured what I was seeing anyway. The next day I did a bunch of 6x6s to use as colour notes. My original plan was to go very large but I would need better references...so I moved up to 20x20s exploring some possibilities. I was happy with the results, capturing the wonders I saw that evening....I had a reasonable foundation to move on; larger, but I just didn't think I could take it further, so set it aside....my experience says when you reach your target, you stop, because the same energy won't be in the next one.
I re-discovered my forgotten paintings a few weeks back and coincidentally had a need for (3) 20x20 paintings as replacements in a custom frame for another group being retired. I paint standard sizes (for me) so I can simply change paintings out reusing my frames until sold.....or not.
