Likin' Lichen

I'm liking gessobord again.  Trying different techniques, figuring out how paints behave on it.

While away we took advantage of the extreme tides and hiked out to a little island in Englishman Bay that's accessible by foot at lowest ebb.  Much of the rock there is covered with lichen, some of which dazzles like sunshine.
