A long time friend asked me to take one of my sketchbook pages and paint it larger and onto canvas. It was weird because the original is 5x7 and the canvas is like 16x20 so a lot of spaces that were quick and easy to cover with a large brush because areas that I needed to layer with the light yellow. Simple brush stroked mixes of green became these huge areas and bigger paint piles. I've done this kind of stuff before and it makes me think of making music demos...trying to redo a song so it will "sound better". But sometimes the demo just has something special to it and it could be impossible to recreate the same essence.
