One of these days I'll give linen a try. Not sure what to expect as I tend to like painting on rough surfaces.

This was a labor of love but a tough painting to get done. I had to start over twice. I felt like I just wasn’t nailing the effect I wanted, and on a painting this large, that became exhausting. 2/4
