Whitewood
22 December 2025
Acrylic on hardboard
10 x 10 inches (25.4 x 25.4 cm)
selected for the Anonymous exhibit at the Auric Gallery.
This was the first of paintings planned for an upcoming call-for-art, entitled Anonymous. It had rather specific requirements. All pieces needed to be 10x10 inches, 1.5-2 inches deep, priced the same and no title tags. I assumed with "no title tags" and the call being labeled "Anonymous", the lack of a signature was desired. Not signing the works wasn't specifically mentioned, but I'm not signing the front. I think I might sign the backs. Or maybe not...I'm no Michelangelo but he only signed his Pieta. And if people were to buy these, you could argue they're for commission. Apparently, in Michelangelo's time, works often weren't signed as most were commissioned. The works I will enter are Whitewood, Tawny, Oaken, Paretto and Revontulet.
This is the box frame, or museum wrap frame. Since it's wood, I'm not sure it's a true 'wrap'.
I'm also toying with the idea of pigmenting the sides. I love clean wood, so it's a hard decision,
