First of the new artworks coming to the etsy shop in September (prints) - originals later in the fall). Oil on maple panel (why I did not discover these panels before, is beyond me). Totally fallen head over heels for these thick panels - just a few layers of gesso and you are good to go. I must admit, it took awhile to get acclimated from canvas to board, but I'm definitely a convert.

Make the leaden spirit take flight.
