Is 20 x 20 in considered enormous?
Hi from Anne. I do not think 14 x 14 or 20 x 20 is enormous. Actually, I paint those sizes plein air all summer and fall long. the largest PA painting I made was 30 x 36 of a wonderful scene of connected barns and an old truck near my home in Maryland. I worked on it three times..three Tuesday mornings with the PA group I founded some years ago. I used my Coulter easel set up and the piece was on a stretched canvas. It was during the fall of the year and one can imagine the colors.
I agree with the other two comments, I don’t think those sizes are enormous. The subject definitely is enormous and a difficult one to paint well, something Curt does exceptionally well. I have painted the canyon also and find it quite an intimidating subject. My two paintings were 18″X24 and 24″X18″ and I don’t consider them enormous.
