While at my last photo shoot with Davin, we got to talking about my style and various painting surfaces... he recommended trying out some wood panels for a different look/experience.
So being the DIYer that I am I grabbed a leftover piece of hardboard from the shop, gave it a light sand, and tried it out. (Note that the proper way of doing this is applying several coats of acrylic gesso and sanding between coats to prepare the surface, but I was too lazy for that for a quick attempt).
Honestly I kinda loved it. Fire Above, Fog Below is a quick piece inspired a bit by a section of another piece that I liked (and then painted over) and inspired somewhat by life and stuff going on (as happens).
