biggest.painting.ever.

I just finished the largest painting I have ever done. oh yes. It was a monster. A beautiful big phthalo turquoise and prussian blue beast of a painting. 

 So 2.47mx 1.85m, way too many late nights, and more than 50hrs later....this is roughly how the story goes... (in just a snapshot...)

 
This was a commissioned work and as such there was constant communication with the client-  initial meetings and sharing sketches, colour consultations and in-home conferencing to get measurements. Then once the painting began photos were sent at every stage, and input from the client sought to ensure that the work was exactly what they were after. It was a great experience and it was incredibly rewarding to get such positive feedback throughout the whole process and see a client so exuberantly happy with their piece. So now it hangs, very well loved, in it's new home.
