Really BIG Art!

This past winter, Omar was commissioned to do a painting titled "Bunny's Birthday Bash". The client wanted him to do a very LARGE watercolor depicting her favorite rabbits and their friends partying it up. The painting was so large, in fact, that it did not fit on Omar's usual work desk. He had to make a temporary workspace just to accommodate the piece.

 You'd figure that when facing such a huge task, Omar would maybe perhaps just possibly consider that he might use bigger brushes and use bolder strokes to get the job done. Nope, he used his usual little brushes and spared no detail. Crazy man. But the finished piece is quite epic, as you can see in the images below.
