"Full moon flute player" was the first large painting that I did on 4 separate canvases.
To be honest I do not like splitting one theme to several neighboring canvases anymore. I tried it couple times back in 2014 and 2013 but now I am a big fan of one theme on one canvas. Call it the force of simplicity and unity.
Detail of the middle part: The Flute player...

Nevertheless, I did paint a few canvases that were composed of several smaller ones. I think my mind was in a similar state of confusion as my canvases back then, so I am not surprised that I did something so random and "scattered"
I think the most complex composition of canvases I put together was this one...
...
...work in progress...
...
I think that after these two big compositions, I lost appetite for doing one theme on separate canvases.
On the other hand, I still enjoy very much doing paintings that fit nicely next to each other theme-wise and size-wise, but keeping them completely independent and "whole" on their own.
The below paintings are good examples of that...
They fit nicely together but they are also great on their own...
But the best example of all ....
... are these two 8 feet Buddha paintings....
The sky on one continues to the ocean of the other ....
Perhaps you will agree with me that one canvas with one unified theme is more harmonized than split canvases, although it is quite "fashionable" to buy set of canvases or pictures frames depicting one single theme.
"Fashion", in my humble opinion, should not dictate at least certain areas of traditional art.
And what is your preference?
I hope that life is treating you well!
