"Tessa" 11x14 acrylic on Foamular

Foamular is rigid insulation used for insulating buildings - my son Tim works in construction and he had a few pieces lying around. I'm experimenting with this support, believing that it should last as long as a house. In any case, acrylic takes to it very kindly, binding with the millions of tiny bubbles on the surface of the insulation.

Tessa was our sitter at Goward House today. Click on the image for a bigger view and press COMMENTS to give me some feedback. Questions gladly answered, simply click on the tiny white envelope to send me an email if you choose not to use the COMMENTS facility.
