I really like this one a lot. On such a large scale compared to the drawings of a while ago.

I also like this a lot. I really like how you have it displayed on the site with the two detail shots underneath. It would be interesting to see the actual painting looking like that. Three panels on one sheet of paper with the whole picture up top and two details below focusing in on certain areas.

That's an interesting idea. That makes it like a lot of websites that sell/show art...there you get the big pictures (only not so big because of the limitations of the screen) and then a detail so you can get a feel for the piece close-up, but then you doubletake it when you include the detail sections in the actual painting as PART of the painting. It might be even more fun if the details were just ever so slightly different from the actual details. It might be a lot of fun or it might simply be an over the river and through the woods high concept excursion to east nowhere.
