I wondered if a bigger studio would mean bigger pictures, now I know, it does. This new picture has a square format and the ones I was doing last year with this format looked far too small, 36cm x 33cm. This one is 50cm x 48cm, although small by many peoples standard it feels about right for this painting. I wouldn’t be surprised if I go bigger in the future. Happy with the start, I wanted to create a picture with a focal point to see if it changes the dynamic, the answer is yes.
