A painting on gesso board

Occassionally, I enjoy changing things up a bit and working on other materials besides textiles. It affords me the chance to stretch the 'creative muscles', and improve technical skills. It is fun, and keeps things interesting. Art should never be boring! Below is a portrait of two English Staffordshire Terriers I did during the holidays with the 'work in progress' photos, as well, titled, "Holding Hands". Yes, they were really posed that way in the photograph- too cute! :-)
