Moonlight in the bay

Wanted to try painting on a black canvas - so I painted a 12x12 canvas board with all black oil and let it dry. Then I covered it with Linseed oil and went to work. I've never done a moon light painting before and really had alot of fun! Next, I think I will TRY flowers but we will see. . . . :)

Editors Note:

Thanks for sharing, yes, the black canvas can be exciting to work on. I can remember a High School project that required us to do something similar. Your painting brought back such memories. It was an exciting time of discoveries both in the class room and out! This reminded me too of the paintings done in the 70's on black velvet. Wow, now that's a throwback!
Thanks for sharing, and bringing back all those memories!

Can't wait to see your flower paintings!
