The Evolution of an Artwork
Once upon the time there was a large forty-two inch square panel that a woodworking friend created for me. Wood panels are my favorite substrate as they can support anything that I can stick onto them with acrylic matte gel medium. (Have I told you that I buy matte gel medium by the gallon? It's true.)
I prepped this particular wood panel and painted on it live at church, as I do at times.
How to choose a meaningful gift
This time of year seems to be filled with special occasions like graduations, weddings, anniversaries and in my family, we've got plenty of summer birthdays, too. There's nothing quite as wonderful as giving a gift that holds special meaning and one way for a gift to have meaning is for that gift to symbolize something.

Probably one of the most interesting things about this piece is that it was originally part of another artwork. "Seasons Change" is 12" wide and 16" high but it came from a much larger piece that was 40" x 40".
