surfacing

Got some matboard from the framing shop next door, they always have a big box of leftover pieces & were happy to give them to me. How lucky is that!

Some of these are on canvas and some are on the matboard:


Acrylic on paper works very well! It's a bit absorbent, so I can get watercolour-ish effects.
I might also glue some matboard to cradled wood panel... hmmm... could create a nice raised edge if the panel is slightly bigger than the piece of matboard. Ideas, ideas.

Next, I have to start using some other colours! Everything right now is shades of red, ha.

The ones on white are nice. I like how soft and blowy *is that a word?* your flowers look.

Yes, I'd say blowy is a word, and a very nice compliment - thanks!
