* NOTE: There is no black line around the actual painting. I have added the line to help differentiate the edges against the pure white page.

ABOUT THIS PIECE: This piece is much more impressive in person than these scans can convey. This is a rich, jewel-like painting. With so many layers and lines and sneaky bits of color peaking out all over. The words in this painting read, "I like your hidden stuff best." Because I often find myself drawn to others whose outward personas may appeal to me very little. But in whom I sense more interesting complexities just below the surface. I like the stories I feel them holding back more than I like the stories they are sharing. I am always intrigued by folks with colorful insides. HOW IT WAS MADE: This piece has equal parts brush painting and palette knife painting. I used a teeny tiny 20/0 detail brush to create that gem of a heart and to add the words.
(The staple-free sides have been painted so you can display your new artwork unframed. This is a digital photo, the scans above are more accurate.)
DISPLAY OPTIONS: This piece could be easily and affordably framed as it requires no matting or glass. Or it would also display nicely either on the wall or sitting on a small decorative easel just as it is, no framing needed. The image continues around the staple-free sides for a clean finished look.
