Surfaces

I find my paintings dramatically affected 
by the surface I'm painting on. 
Last winter I painted over some old oil paintings 
with thick yellow ochre oil paint.
They took forever to dry,
 but it was worth the wait. 

"Gone Swimming"
16 x 20 oil 


The rough surface creates great texture 
 for the type of "pattern painting"
I'm exploring lately.

  2. Yes! The way to go with older paintings- this is so gutsy!
