City Bugs

This one was created about a year ago, but I never posted it. Someone special in my life admired it and so I will send it to her, but first it gets a little on-line time.

I enjoy working in this process. I added a very thick layer of acrylic, then a thin layer of gesso and a painting layer in oil. I let the first oil layer dry completely. Then I came back in and layered thick knifed on paint with Cold Wax Medium by Gamblin mixed in. When the surface was covered in thick paint I began to scratch out here and there, no reason, much like termites would eat away at wet wood creating their own design. 24 x 18 inches.
