Peru Series #8

This is a 6" x 6" oil painting on a panel of a Quechua boy sitting on a dog near the train station. I was testing painting directly on a wood panel for the first time. I was also experimenting by adding cold wax to my paint, and I am happy with the results. I am testing methods in preparation for beginning the 50 paintings in 50 days project, so there will be lots of work posted in the near future.
