15 Minute Pose
Boring history: I had several sheets of illustration board which I was going to cut down to 8" x 10" and do some paintings with them. Unfortunately, when the printer cut them, they were closer to 7" x 10" and they wouldn't fit into a 8" x 10" picture frame, as planned. Rats! The boards sat on the shelf for nearly a decade--too oddly-sized for my needs--before I dusted 'em off, gessoed 'em up, and thought to use them to do painting studies. Turns out they were useful after all. The Island of Misfit Painting Supports, I suppose...

This painting is a little impressionistic. But, if you squint just right, you may be able to see a figure somewhere in those mass of brush strokes.
This was done with black and white acrylic paint on an approximate 7" x 10" gessoed illustration board.
