Black & White 1 Painting

Inspired by cobblestone, or any patterned stonework, even beach stones gathered together in the sand. I love the elegant simplicity of black and white; its subtle and simple, but makes a wonderful design statement. My process for creating involves laying down several layers. The under-layer is a textured base using variants of black. For the top layers, I used several shades of white & just-off-white in soft pastel chalk. The final artwork is varnished to protect the layers. This artwork comes signed by the artist in the lower right-hand corner, as well as signed and dated on the back of the canvas.
