Suture
03 March 2026
Acrylic on wood
14 x 16 in (35.6 40.6 cm)
After finishing Flip Top, I was all about 'using what I have' so cut up a 2x4 (two of them actually) and spliced them together - hence Suture. I also wanted to use more of the green (deputing in Vibrato) because I have it. I thought it drug the grain out wonderfully. I liked the green and the grain so I wanted to stay minimalist on this - so as to accentuate the grain or at least let it be as visible as it was. I also resisted the desire to overpaint and I think it was a good decision.
The 'canvas' is a 2x4 sliced up, glued together and sanded. Sanded only so much. I liked how the grain popped. It's funny how gray the first pic turned out. The only other shot I would have liked to have was the terrain only. It was the first thing I painted and almost stopped there.
This is the frame currently holding Suture.
