I just recently sent this painting out to my gallery in San Francisco, it was big enough that it had to be crated and sent by freight which is somewhat terrifying. On big paintings like this I often will shoot several images and stitch them together in photoshop using photo merge. The images here are all from a really large 180mb image so I can get super close and still retain a lot of detail. I have started a few more paintings along these lines and I am excited about how it is going.
