thanks.

I actually enjoy working "big" - In fact, these were the first murals I've ever done. Prior to that I worked on paper, vellum, newsprint etc.

With murals you get to work from the shoulders and arms rather than just your wrists. It feels a lot more "free."

The profile (#2) is about 4' high. The lady (#4) is 6' high. And the last one (#5) is about 4' high.

I have no idea - that was about 8 years ago.

It doesn't matter ...the experience for me was in making them. When I'm done making any piece of art it then belongs to the world - I don't keep any of my art.
