Black or White



I painted the same view two times this morning. One was on a black gesso board which was a new technique. I thought leaving the black edges was a bit gimmicky but had no choice it seemed. I redid pretty much the same view on a bit bigger, but white board after that. I am posting them both. Which one do you think was more successful?

Ann! There is a certain richness to the colors in the top image which I think is the black board. They are more intense, which I respond to. There is comething about those toned surfaces that starts a painting off on the right foot. Happy painting!
