Most of the time my work is in standard sizes, mostly to make framing simpler. So much of my outdoor work is 9x12 and the majority of studio pieces is 11x14, 12x16 and so on. But sometimes an idea requires a different kind of layout, like a panorama. So far most of my more panoramic paintings have been relatively small, like "Oak Savanna" (below).

This particular work is quite similar to another I posted last month. But it's a wider view of the edge of an area of oak savanna--basically prairie with copses of oaks. The trees are all old growth because the savanna is as it has always been--never farmed, cleared or otherwise disturbed much. The difference in this one is the considerably wider format, which gives a better sense of the savanna.
