    Cradled Panel Prep

    That’s an interesting way to do it, Bongo; thanks so much for explaining. I’ve heard of using black gesso but your spray paint is probably a better choice.

    New! Happy Celebratory Tree Challenge for everyone!

    Christine, I love what you did with your tree! How cool to mix digital with traditional to get those wonderful fireworks effects! The reflections are beautiful! Terri, your happy little tree looks great and it’s so good to see your oil pastels in action again!

    Tending The Net

    That dark sky makes me hope these guys are hurrying! As always, you use a limited amount of strong light to enhance the drama. I hope you’re keeping this one, Wayne!

    From old classical romantic to painterly

    I can see the classical bones of this one and I like the painterly look you gave it! That’s a great concept and a fun way to interpret older works.

    Cradled Panel Prep

    It’s good to hear how you guys do your cradled panels. I wonder if a thin layer of acrylic medium around the edges would help even if you paint the sides black. Would it fill any gaps and prevent the black paint from flowing over to the front of the panel?

    Cradled Panel Prep

    I thought this was worth sharing because I’ve seen cradled panels in galleries that don’t look so great from the side. This artist shows how to keep the sides looking neat.

    Flower Power

    I think the power comes from the darks around the flowers. The illusion of petals in the white flower is incredible with those strokes of paint! You speak “floral” so well, Wayne.
