This is much smaller than the last one i've seen.
Did you switch to the "small form" (russian therm)?
I have seen you working large scale. Going to the smaller scale. Was it natural?

I paint mostly murals/frescoes now and at times find it difficult to swithch to smaller detail, for example I am working now on the oil mural for a corporate conference room and, i do not know why but I stuffed it with lots of small details - a person usually about life size in the foreground on this mural is 6 or so inches. So it is going awfully slow and drives me nuts. Especially knowing that I had full "artistic license" and could have designed them bigger. I just have trouble to agree with small things in painting now - after working "big" it is like breathing through the respirator. Although 20 years ago I have started as a miniature painter (one inch square) - go figure...

So did you have some readjustment "headache"?
