The First Draft

This still life painting is 7″ x 9″, oil on gessoed paper mounted on board.

Coffee with milk and a folded letter. on lined loose leaf paper with paper. When was the last time you wrote a letter? No delete button. I wrote a letter in January, and I painted the first draft. It reminded me of the days of love letters. Whether that be a folded letter to a friend or my current crush a folded note of flattened memories.

This painting is framed in a maple wood floater frame. The inside of the frame, and the edge of the panel are painted black to give the illusion of floating.
