8 x 10 inches - oil on linen board - I have been working on a series of paintings about Hawaii, mostly Kauai on 8 x 10 inch boards. Hawaii, because it is one of the most beautiful and interesting places I have seen. On three trips, we fell in love with the place and hope to go back some day. 8 x 10 inch boards because I find that framing is often very expensive. Using a standard size like this reduces the cost. Often framing gets assigned a greater value than the painting itself. I try not to take offense from that.
