Phun - 36 x 24 inches Acrylics on stretched canvas, mounted on 3 inch wide “box-frame” trimmed in black.

PHUN, 24H x 36W inches acrylics on canvas mounted on a 3 inch wide box-frame, trimmed in black. I experimented with crackle finish and layers of color upon color. A few years ago when designing for stained glass windows I drew this on a scrap piece of paper. The style is a complete departure from my usual and was so much phun!
