... unlocked ....

 this is a 24 inch square canvas ... it is very textured ... with gesso ... what tool you ask? well ... to get all that texture i used the most fab tool ... a plastic bag ... a target bag to be more specific ...
i fell in love with the texture and then just wanted to keep it all rough and yummy like that .... so i just had it sit around in my studion for a while so i could watch it (it didn't do anything or change a bit) ... so after some admiring i decided to go simple ...


three little iconic bits to tell a story .... two of them all sleek and slick in contrast to my background .... one of them a pop of red ... big pop of color ....

let's call it a metaphor ... what's it mean to you?

what the heck kinda comment is that above?

anywho, to me this says, "you have the key to my heart." love all that yummy texture. I've been using some of that heavy gesso on book covers. it does some amazing things to paper. :-)
