Ring of Fire

Ring of Fire, oil on canvas, 6x12

I have run out of my gessobords, and that has forced me to search my painting material remnants to find something else to use. This was painted on an unstretched canvas but stapled to a hardboard under it. It gave me the texture and "pull" of canvas but the non-springy aspect of board painting. I will stretch it upon purchase. I found a beautiful photo of a field of poppies on morgue file.com, the free photo site I use when I "can't get there".  I loved the "motion" created by the composition. It is similar to what my eye finds when searching for subject matter.
