Here's the set up

First stage....developing the composition on the board, spilling over onto frame.

Starting to block in color

Finished Painting!

Oil on framed board, 8.25"x8.25" (outside dimension of frame)

I love spilling over on to the frame when painting with Oils.  Changes the feel of a piece.....a picture within a picture so to speak.  It's easy to tell my light source here is from above.  The camera just doesn't give this piece justice.  Looks much better in life.
