Oreos for Matt


What guy does not love milk and cookies? This is a Christmas gift for a favorite nephew, Matt. His mother makes the best in the world chocolate chip cookies, but somehow the coloring of an Oreo with milk reminds me of Matt, who has black hair and his mother's fair skin and hazel eyes. Another 6x6" format on archival stretched canvas.

I've been using a black gesso on my small works and leaving the sides black...the black ground makes me use heightened color and the contrasted black sides are very attractive. Almost looks like these little pieces are framed.
