Inspired by an oil panting I once saw in a small gallery in Paris, I tried this impressionistic piece in larger scale (50x80 I think it is), on prepared canvas, and finishing it all by putting it into an old frame I had. Larger formats are great and gives a fantastic sense of freedom. Preparing the canvas with sanded paint worked very well, but I didn't manage to get the trees, colours and shadows they way the should have been. The original artists idea can be seen though, and framing it (temporarily) immediately makes it look all the more finished. I might just try something else for that frame ... or maybe oil anyhow?
