I'm not a pet art fan myself but I've been doing a lot of it lately. Well, just two actually. I seem to have misplaced my groove. Need to find it again and soon.<br /><br />I really love working on the gesso and also plain old matboard. Can't beat the effects that are possible on those surfaces.Billie Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336330932102277633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37200829.post-35295486395335218712010-06-16T17:02:26.365-07:002010-06-16T17:02:26.365-07:00I'm not sure what I'm going to do with thi...I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this, Vera.

And the gesso paintings are really good, hard to beat that stuff for texture and getting a nice resist.
