Largest canvas to date...part III

Decided to go for cool monochromatic colors in the end...sort of a look from the 50's in a way or, as if the observer were wearing sun glasses as well. Chinese artists use black ink and get a lot of mileage out of using fewer colors. I seem to want to go in that direction for now (ethereal, monochromatic scenes). Sticking to the warmer colors would be an objective for the next painting since the first phase of the work suggested a punchier final painting. Working on large canvases is definitely a challenge with fast drying acrylic colors. The work gets looser...a noble objective. This one goes to my exhibition as an experiment (not quite there yet) and a harbinger of things to come.
