Thanks so much for your comment, Cathy! You are lucky to still have those horses. I wish I would have saved them.

I paint partly by sitting. It’s easier if there are details that have to be accurate. But there’s also good things in standing, especially at the beginning. The body movement combined with a big canvas is creatively energizing.

Thank you for more color instruction. This painting is so joyful, such a connection for me to childhood and my plastic horses. Still have them, and love that they have spent over 50 years with me. I often wish to try my hand at a larger painting, but not sure I am skilled enough. Sometimes the regular sized paper feels constricting. I have not tried standing to paint. That may sound odd, but it would change my familiar orientation to where my hand goes to make marks. Anyway, I know in time I will need to experiment more and open up to new ways.
