Soft Touch

This is the first time I experimented with a black background. I coated the Gessobord panel with two coats of black gesso. Once it was dry, I painted as usual. Next time, I will try to leave more of the black exposed, particularly around the edges of the subject. With this one I was really working on lost and found edges. I love trying to get them to fade right into the background...and just disappear.

Oil on panel, 6" x 6", $100 (with free display easel) + shipping
