with the last two paintings being made on pine panels.

I’ve been experimenting with some different takes on the idea of the structured and contrasting test card design, with this focus being the most primitive. In the early stages the diagonal grid work was cut into the panel with a chainsaw as an act of drawing. While having a low relief effect, the challenge with these panels was to build up and fill in areas to have a greater degree of surface texture height.  I’ve got another idea in the works for the next two coming up and am looking forward to the discovery.
