Mother and Son



Title-Mother and Son
Medium-Canvas on board
Size-10x12 Inches


Mother and son is a  bit bigger than my past few paintings, and it has been done on canvas ,stretched on board.Because I have recently been painting on smooth surfaces it took some time getting use to the texture.I think I prefer the smooth surface of the primed Masonite boards.I saw this mother and her son walking down the a dirt road in Maun,and so decided that it would make a great painting.

Some good news is that I made my first online sale through PayPal yesterday.So I will be posting (Last rays of the sun) to his new owners.I hope it will be the start of many more sales ,but I guess that will depend on whether I can produce smaller, good quality, and appealing art work on a regular basis.I will give it a try

Very nice work.

I also like the smooth surfaces for some works and will use a gesso panel for that. But I always come back to my linen panels.

And congrats on your first sale. Here's to hoping you have many more.

I like this! I'm having the opposite problem though of having trouble adjusting to a too smooth surface!
