Canvas 1153 is on the large size at 48x56 and already a traveler. Traveler was started very late in the day on June 1st in the studio. I had to move it back and forth weekends between my studio and Swimming-in-Paint at Crossroads. I had one idea at the start, including a title "Spring Salad". All the images below are end-of-day.

"SPRING SALAD" is a good example of "staging" large works over a period of time. Painting large
is actually easier than smaller standard sizes like 20x24. Freedom of
movement is not constraining. Think of a conductor in a 3x3
space.....all you would hear is the clanking of the baton on the walls.
The music would be lost...... For me, painting is about light and colour
rhythms - sometimes that requires a bit of dancing room.
