Close up of tape on Stress Relief Two
Acrylic painting combining the interest of golf and OU football. This painting is designed to be hung without a frame. It is painted around the edge of the canvas to resemble wood boards. It has a 3 dimensional look, with the "box" holding the golf club, upon which the football memorabilia is sitting, giving the impression of sticking out from the wall and shifting as you walk past. Try watching the ends of the box and leaning left and right to get some idea of what I'm referring to. Realize that the details and depth that a photo can show aren't near the quality of the original painting so the effect is reduced.
The yellow note paper says, "Do that later, play golf now!" The note kept falling down so I put a piece on tape on it, which I included in the painting. The detail of the scotch tape on the lower left corner of the "poster" and on the yellow note are one of my favorite parts of this painting. I enjoy when people viewing it ask if they can feel to see if the tape is real or painted on! Nadine
