Master Dirt Farmer?
Mother Daughter Friend?
Make Dinner Fast?
Nope. Medium Density Fiberboard, an engineered wood product that artists often use.
And, at the moment, a Major Distraction Factor.
I'm taking another hiatus from my 100layersofpaint challenge to turn my attention to mounting some of my paper paintings on MDF. Went to a local lumber yard to see what the stuff was, brought home a sheet, and had Dave run it through his table saw to my specs (thanks, Dave!). I varnished my painting, painted the sides of the MDF, glued the painting to my panel, wrote a haiku on the back, and now I've got a painting all spiffed up looking for a new home.

Really love that piece! Love the blues and the texture you have done with the paper. I have been thinking about mounting some of my cut canvas pieces. I was thinking of plywood, I have a wood yard that will cut to my dimensions. That looks really thick wood? They also have MDF? Good to step away, re-100 levels. I think 20+ levels a proud feat. Kol ha kavod!
Carol, glad you like this piece with its blues and textures. It's a piece that really came together with flow when I made it—felt like I was pretty much one with the painting. I hope you do mount some of your cut canvas pieces. Keep me posted; I'd love to see. The MDF for this piece is 1/2" thick.
Thanks for your affirmation of my 100layers challenge. Stay tuned.
WOW! Love this piece, love the MDF mounting, and THE HAIKU! Are you kidding me? Is there nothing you can't do? Rock on, Dotty!
Jen, thank you for your enthusiasm and support! I'm taking steps into some unknown territory right now and I'm glad to have your cheerleading.
In fact, MANY things I can't do! But having fun with the ones I know I can and the ones I'm discovering I can : )
Oh my! Busy as ever and inspiring to boot! Love the idea of a "secret Haiku" included with your gorgeous art. Just thinking what a nice surprise that will be for the new owner. I agree with Carol, I think your layers is already quite the feat. Joyful continued creating to you Dotty :)
Too busy, if the truth be known!, but thank you for your enthusiasm. Really fun to pair this piece with a haiku. The layers piece is on hold for the time being while I tend to other irons in the fire.
