World Traveler



5×7, Acrylic paint over finely cracked acrylic base on hardboard
$35 without frame


I am experimenting with a new technique to create a realistic cave wall. Look closely and you'll see that the cave wall in this painting is scored and cracked in a number of places. Doing what cave painters sometimes did, I followed the cracks to create this world traveler. This effort takes much more drying time because the base is so thick.
