Wood Round

Hi all,
       Thought I would share with you my first ever painted wood round, and although I am loving it so far there is still much to do on it, in the way of adding extra decoration. These are MDF and gessoed first to seal the wood and then sanded back a bit to get it a little smoother. The pattern I just made up as I went along free handing so the proportions may not be 100% correct, but I am not too fussed about that to be honest. I am still undecided whether to do this one as a double sided, or just paint the back in one colour or even leave it white with a written inscription. I suppose like most things it will come to me when I least expect it ! I have to say that I love the orange colour it is so vibrant and warming, and works well with the blue, and have also added some metallic bronze in the yellow parts. However I will own up to not being the worlds greatest or methodical colour mixer and tend to throw some together and see what comes out of it, as I did with this orange.

For all you dog lovers out there I have not forgotten my portraits and will be starting a few new ones soon, and as always will share them with you.
