butcher's twine 5x5 oil on wood panel


I'm a little vague about the title of this painting. It comes from our kitchen and I think it is used for tying up turkey or chicken legs getting ready to be baked. Whatever. I saw it on the counter and realized it was a painting. I painted the undercoat with acrylics then painted with oil on top of it. It was the pattern of the wrapped twine that interested me but I disliked the hard edges I got with the acrylic . That made me switch to an oil glaze. You cannot put acrylic on top of oil but you can paint with oil on top of acrylic.
