Description
16x20 acrylic and ink on gessobord. This piece is kind of a hybrid between my textured and smooth series. It started as an experiment creating optical textures on a smooth surface, and I then transformed the initial underpainting to something that fits into my little universe. The surface picked up some actual texture from the original applications, but was smooth enough for me to varnish, allowing the colors to really pop. I am pleased with the integration of techniques and I think I'll pursue this further.
