  "Cloud Study 1" charcoal on gessoed birch panel   20" by 16" by 2"   $350. CAD SOLD

I love the beautiful smooth surface of these gessoed birch panels. This, and the other charcoal pieces I've just done on this surface, have been landscapes from my imagination. They are based on images from nature that I have found burned into my mind from living where I do. I used only charcoal, an eraser, and a rag. When the image is done I spray it with varnish to fix the charcoal and create a smooth semi-gloss surface. See more under the "Charcoal Painting" heading.
