This mixed-media painting is created from layers of acrylic paints, emulsions, and charcoal. Found objects, such as sand, string, and straw add textural excitement. Areas of impasto painting and smudging amplify the feeling of movement and energy. An acid-free archival coating protects the surface and produces a subtle sheen. The sides are painted a rich gray. Signed on the back, the painting is ready to hang.
