Due to the small work space of my studio I haven't been able to create large works. I can work on larger pieces during the summer months by painting out on the balcony. Not practical during the winter months. Not long ago I learned from another artist how I can create larger pieces by painting on small panels and joining them together with nuts and bolts. Sort of like tiles. Here are the results of my first test piece.
Acrylic on three 8 x 8 inch cradled panels bolted together. Final size is 8 x 24 x 1.5 inches
Four 2 inch .25 inch bolts and nuts are used to hold the three panels together. I purchased a doweling jig to drill the bolt holes precisely.
