acrylic on birch-veneer ply, 6x8.5 inches

So, here's the product of my recent painting experiments. I've been wanting to paint on wood for a while now and decided to finally give it a go with one of my favorite pictures of Ryan as a kid*. I used thin washes of acrylic; between acrylic's fast-drying tendencies and the way it seeped into the wood, it felt similar to watercolor. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, and am hoping to do some more painting on wood over the next few weeks.

*How great is that rainbow belt??
