Size DOES Matter

Lesson learned:  bigger is not always better.  My way big tree piece from last night was not a success.  Not quite.  I still like it, but the "brush strokes" are different on a bigger piece and I need to figure out how to make them work.  I put "brush strokes" in quotes because I don't paint with a brush.  I use a palette knife.  But you get the idea.

So bigger is not always better.  But sometimes SMALLER is way too cute.  Example:

This is the apple tree out in back of the gallery.  Strike that -- this is the apple tree out in back of the gallery as I see it in my head.  You can't really tell from this photo but it even has some little apples.  And the paper is only 7" square.
