Cell Series, Number 2

Cell Series: Number 2

[oil pastel]

As far as I can tell, this was the second in this series that started with tree cell slides in botany class in college. The series was my most popular, most are gone, either sold or given as gifts.

When I Say "Box Framed"

Box frame: a 'shadow-box', a half-inch gap of space between the masonite painting and the lattice edging (really there just for protection), so they look like they're floating in a box, not touching the frame. I find real frames on paintings to be distracting and try to hide the framing as much as possible and make it look like a small thin line, just like the borders on these digital images. I paint on tempered masonite board (for its smooth glassy surface), not canvas, which has a distracting and rough texture. Da Vinci painted on wood also, usually heavy oak; the Mona Lisa weighs 80 lbs unframed.
