4x4" Oil on Board
Aaaccckkk! Sometimes things come easily; sometimes not so much. I do love the final result with this painting, but BOY, did I have some challenges to face. Gessoboard - not so much....I'm going to go back to my Centurion linen, which I have been successfully using for years. Thought I'd try this board to see how I might like it, but it's too slick. Black dog - BOY, painting "black" is a great lesson. Paint what you see; not what you think you see. Let's think...keep your palette and colors clean lest you cause confusion and frustration. I arrived at the painting's title for two reasons. First I said 'boy' (among other choice words) a lot during the painting, and secondly this is a seriously big black dog for a hot summer day on the beach : ).
