Imagine - you decide to paint your large bedroom, move the furniture, cover the furniture, go get the gallons of paint and brushes. You wake up the next morning knowing full well it'll take several days of your life and you just go for it.
That's what it was like on Monday morning when I started this painting. I should say when I started Seurat's painting 'A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte'. Yikes.
The detail matters. So I took my time, used every color in the rainbow and while painting, I imagined Seurat working on a canvas 10 feet by 7 feet and layering millions of dots. How did he not go nuts?
And here I'm whining about 8 inches by 5ish inches.
My very-used pizza pan of colors....
